This was such a ride. I won't say I enjoyed reading this book. I definitively had to push through a lot of it, because of the quite complex plot with lots of different characters. But I think in the end it was worth it. I really enjoyed the ending, and by the end found myself attached to the characters. If you enjoy fever-dreamish, psychedelic books you'll like this one.
