Not my cup of tea. I read about a quarter of the way through and found I just could not get into it.

This book is not for everyone, but I can say it has it's place. If you put everything aside the book has some really deep meanings about love, hate, forgiveness, etc. I found it almost a physiological book more then anything. The sex in the book is very very graphic, so know that going into it. As for why I gave it a low rating. This is purely on the writing style, which drove me crazy and made it very hard for me to finish the book. It is written like a manual (part a goes into part b to make part c). If someone asked you to describe how to do something (sex, interact with a human, make toast, etc) and you wrote each step in detail that would be how this book is written. I found this odd as the book has a deeper meaning about love and philosophy, but then the writing is so ridged. Either way, it made me start skimming the pages and forced me to keep putting it down to read something else. I don't know how to tell you if this is for you or not, it's just different.
