It's an interesting fiction book with many philophical parts. But it really didn't grow on me. for many aspects, such as the characters, the non-linear order of the plot, etc. Maybe I missed many points, but I can't say I loved as much as many who have read it. Also I'm starting to believe that I prefer older books
