This book was really weird, and though I liked it, I'm not sure I would recommend it. I also don't think I would have liked it as much if I hadn't been listening to the audiobook; I may have given up if I were reading a physical copy.
For most of this book, I couldn't really tell you what it was about, or what the main plot was. Not that that's always a bad thing, but still.
