Customer Reviews
1974
Not the easiest book to read, but completely engaging. Most of the characters had depth, but hard to think of a really nice one. Maybe a reflection on life. Following the story was quite a challenge & shockingly in many ways. All up I think it was worth the effort
Great
This book has pace, compelling plot, and a great prose style. It kept me turning pages until the very end.
