not bad, some very good writing, but some lulls. Could be tightened up with some editing to become a four. not very long. Reminds me a bit of Twain, Lewis, and Smollett.

Sorry, but this is a very goobered book. Made little sense to me so I decided to stop reading. Did not finish reading formally, but finished reading for my reading soul's needs of survival.
