I do admit the first 120 pages were a struggle, but when everything started to settle and life was trying to become normal, this is when the characters blossomed and the story picked up. Once the story was moving and I was use to the writing style, the book was oddly mesmerizing, and a joy to read; not something I would read normally but I felt like I cared about these characters and wanted to know what would happen next.
I do feel the sentence structure played a big part in this book. The sudden stops and odd pauses all drove this story along. If it wasn’t written so spectacularly, I think this book would have fallen flat on its face.
