Bumped up from 3 for the last 50 pages.  This book is very long and interesting and it drags at times and at times I didn't care about it but overall it makes you think a lot, about languages and colonialism and what it means to be "in."  It wasn't quite as enchanting as I hoped it would be but it gave me a lot to think about.
