hmmm. I don't know, I found it quite strange. for the first 3/4 of the book I couldn't see much point in it, and even at the end, I still found it disappointing. it was well written though, I did enjoy it. but it just didn't have enough meaning to it. not enough for me, anyway. if it had been a long book, I would have been bored stiff.
I mean, there is a lot of serious stuff in this book, a lot, but the author kind of just downsized it all. it was almost like it was mentioned, said how bad it was,and then discarded.
