While I enjoyed this story, at times I found it hard to want to read it, and it took me forever to get through it. That is why I'm not recommending it.
The story itself is pretty good, when you are finished and strip away the things that you really don't need to think of. You will find a lot of boring parts in the book, but the few exciting parts make up for it. In the end you may be like me, and find yourself thinking that it all came together alright. But just alright.
Though very creative, I don't think I will read this author again any time soon. It just wasn't for me.
