Initially slow but like the forest music that Digger describes the tempo constantly increases up to hurricane level of sensations, information, emotions and detail that the story conveys.
I think that the author artfully transmits mind shattering truths in a well structured novel.
As his previous novel it is a book to reread cause sometimes there is too much information to assimilate in just one bite.
