In all honesty, there isn't much to say about this book. I felt the writing to be mediocre but acceptable. I did find the lack of quotation marks and interesting touch, it made reading this book to be a different experience. The plot was very slow at times and although I appreciated the detail, it was hard to follow up with how much time had passed. During a majority of the time, I couldn't tell where the story was going and it made me question what the purpose for this book was. Overall, I did not develop any sort of emotional connection with the characters which disappointed me to say the least.
