It was a super slow book but I think it had to be for this story, that was the theme and atmosphere of the book. Since so much of the book was about the passage of time. I liked the weird main character. Also there was a ton of information in there.
Not my favourite book but I really appreciate it. Takes real skills as a story teller to write this book. 4/5
