This book is one of the more serious books I’ve read so far this year. I really like the character and how complex it gets. I also like the writing style, and how it goes from the past to future, past to future. It makes you want to continue to read. I also like the way the author handled the religious aspects. It definitely has the feel of a winning book.

I will agree I like the writing style but it was too serious and I dont feel it could win. It seemed to drag for me. Its good but not enough to win
