Interesting concept for this book and an easy to read book stylistically is somewhat undermined by yarn that seems to wander around and not get to the main point - which seems to be a thing for literature from this part of the world.
Anyway, some great moments in this book but also some times where it was frustrating and you wanted to get it moving.
