Meh, maybe this one just isn't for me...

I'm impressed with the writing style and I enjoyed the second half of the book with its introspection/contemplation of life, death, and morality. 

However, I do not think this book is that interesting. I was struggling to get through the first half of the book, purely because it was so boring. 

Maybe this book wasn't meant for me, but I feel like there are so many other fascinating and powerful ways of addressing these topics.
