The first part of this was pretty slow for me and I was starting to lose interest a bit, but then part 2 comes in and I was riveted. I thought part 3 did a nice job of ending the book with some resolution but still keeping things vague. This book deals with some heavy themes, but for the most part only obliquely due to the main character's temperament. I'm not sure I enjoyed this but I'm glad I read it.
