I found this book repulsive. It was as if this was written by a five year old, that thought that Dr. Suess was a master of adult fiction. I have read it and the story does eventually get interesting, but only the action ansd insights. Not the dialogue nor the descriptions. Also I saw most of the insights as common sense for a decent human being. I would not recommend this book if you want to extend your vocabulary. The sentence repeated annoyingly is "I was completely captivated..." or synonyms thereof. The book was just not my cup of tea.
