I'm a little ambivalent about this.

Pros:
the best parts are really good and intense. The book does cause a strong emotional response.
The writing is really smooth and fluid
Cons:
way overlong. I consider the build up excessive. I kept reading it hoping for the book to pick up my interest but that didn't happen until half of the book.

I don't regret reading this book, but I wasn't blown away.
