First all I should say I'm huge fan of his previous one "Chinaman" which I read it's translated one. So I have already had big hopes for this one, in top of that this is the 2022 Booker Prize winning book. So I'm literally over the moon to read this.

Finally after nearly one and half year later I'm buying I find the time dive into this. So overall it's a mix rollercoaster for me, which of course I will break down in details.

For the start I think it's marvelous the way it's flow I hooked to the story asap great storytelling bravo but as soon as it goes it's getting some distraction like build up the sub plots and connecting with the main one. Some times it's so dragging and sometimes so rushing. Maybe it's only with me idk. And that ending is kinda meh to be honest, I mean he tried to make some climax but kinda felt like failed attempt.

Overall what can I say is it's a good reading but I have big hopes so maybe that's why I felt like this way but I can recommend this to anyone.
