This book. O my goodness this book. Don't try to guess it. Just read it. Just let it happen. Just let this book BLOW YOUR MIND. And that's really all that can be said.

I just don't care enough to finish it. I was listening to the audio book. Three hours in and bored, bored, bored. No plot. No themes. No foreshadowing. Not particularly good writing and not clever enough to keep my interest. ...more
