I actually didn't like this at all in the beginning but it turned out to really strike a chord with me. The dialogue took a little longer to read because it wasn't in quotation marks but that didn't take anything away from the story. It had an open ending, which I've come to hate, but wasn't so bad in this book. I think it was written to get out a message and if you are only looking for a book for entertainment instead of a lesson you might not enjoy this.
