This book took me awhile to get through since I had a few books on the go, but it was worth it. The story moves slowly and there are lot of interruptions so some people that want a straight point may not like the book.
The narrator was a great part of the book and really had a defined personality that added a spark in slower sections of the book. I found the narrator’s discussion interludes provocative and thought provoking although it was sometimes hard to tell when the narration switched form the main story to a story from the narrator.
There are so many topics tackled in this book and each one was given proper justice. This is easily what I liked best about the book. Topics are often brought up though out the book as either a discussion or a story. Both types are well-conceived with the story side showing rather than telling you, its ideas. I can’t stress enough how well done this is. There are certainly times where the author really lays down their points on you but thankfully it never feels heavy handed. Instead, we are treated to an almost lively discussion where you are free to make your own opinions.
The only things that stop me from rating this book higher is how slow it can be at times. As much as I like the narrative interludes, they could be a hard stop in the main story lasting pages that didn’t always feel worth the time.
