I enjoyed the writing style of this book. It was very dreamlike in quality, floating almost? There were a lot of great quotes to be gleaned from it. I think that overall the plot was a little lacking for me and the themes were a little obvious in how they were arrived to and explained. but that was not necessarily in a bad thing... just made the book feel like it dragged a little for my personal taste.
