As a naturally slow reader, it took me months to finish this book. While I gave it four stars, I feel like I need to reread it to fully grasp all the elements that make it a literary masterpiece. With jaw-dropping, almost unbelievable stories alongside head-scratching, many times confusing plot lines, this book is hard to describe. Ultimately—it’s one you just have to experience for yourself.
