wow
This book is definitely a different read, it is written in stream of consciousness manner. It might seem chaotic at first due to the lack of quotations and seem unstructured, but that's what makes this novel different and adds more depth to it. At first I must admit it was confusing,but then it became a very interesting read. It really is a story that deals with many serious topics; it addresses pride, culture, violence, rape, and love. It has many things that connect the reader to the characters and gives insight to what it is to be living in a society the character lived in. It's a story of hope and loss, there something deep and raw in this novel. Might not be for everyone, but definitely worth a read.
Five Stars
