it was ok

I don't know how to give a rating to this book. It's a hard story to grasp, I can tell it's really uncomfortable to read through. I can't enjoy the writing style, too many irrelevant details. Too many. And I don't really understand the emotion the characters have, it's too complicated or blurred.

I did think that the author was a good describer, though. But I can't relate to the story at all, I had to force myself to keep reading, but at some points when I really can't stand it, I just skipped some paragraphs or few pages that I thought was unimportant.

Or maybe it's just not the right age for me. It's 20s. But I'm trying the movie after this.
