For a while I was planning to give this book 3 stars, but now at the end of it, I can't give it more than 2. 
 It's a sad story. I found it a bit confusing at times, because just when you think that you know what the book is about, what the actual story is, the setting somewhat changes, and you feel everything is open ends and confusion, up until the end. (view spoiler)[ And the end gives closure, but not a happy one. (hide spoiler)] 
 The atmosphere of the book kind of got to me as well. At first I liked it, but now I'm just glad that this story is over.
