Well, I just finished the last 100 or so pages of the book and I've got to say that while I liked it, and I could tell that it was written well, i spent most of it confused!
I didn't really 'get' why some things happened the way they did, what was the point of some things, or that kind of stuff.
Also the way that the entire first half just jumped around everywhere served to further my confusion.
And as for the ending, I don't really know what to think about it.. on the one hand it was a lot more positive than what I expected, but on the other hand I don't know if it should have been that way. (?)
It was good, but I feel that I missed a lot because of how little of it I got.
I can also see how reading the penultimate chapters and then reading the last chapter would be disorienting though I don't feel that there was a big drop, just a sort of mood change?
<sunny is bad at lit sometimes okay>
