What a beautiful book. Everything about it feels so /real/; the characters, the issues, the way the story progresses.
My only small nitpick is the way the ending felt like a bit of a cop out: the whole way through I could hardly put the book down, only to be faced with what felt like an anticlimax. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fine with ambiguous endings, but the way the reader almost gets excluded from the end of the story is a unique way of doing things, but not the best kind of unique.
Still, that’s just personal opinion, and it doesn’t change the fact that I enjoyed this novel a lot.
