This book was tedious and took me far too long to read. It was beautifully written, but the plot meandered and I found myself drifting in and out and easily distracted. Was everything literal? Was most of it metaphors? Picturing this lush atmosphere was sometimes nearly impossible. When things were rooted in the "real world" though, the book gripped me. So, I don't know. Three stars for indecisiveness.

Leave me to float on a cloud with the elephant, I put a comb in it. I'm done.
