It is not often that I find a book so well written. The author has a unique way with words, and his use of metaphors brings the story to life. The only problem I had with the book was the overindulgence in descriptions. Not that they were bad, but they seemed to run on and repeat themselves again and again throughout the book. It became a bit tiring and annoying toward the end. But you should enjoy this book because of its well-honed prose and peculiar characters.
