Part of me thinks that I am not smart enough to truly appreciate this book. Usually this kind of storytelling style (piecing the narrative together through vignettes) isn't really my thing but by the end I was surprised at how the ending of the book shocked me, making me realize how much I'd been sucked into the story.
