This book really took me by surprise. What I anticipated was dense writing and heavy themes, and while the latter turned out true (and even darker than expected), the prose was very readable. 

The structure of this novel allows it to keep its suspense until the very last page. There are so many quotes that were not only poetic, but also gave me so much to think about. 

While there were some grammatical errors and a name mix-up, I think that the translator did a good job, overall.
