it's really very well written I can say that - in the sense that some of the things felt super visceral and I had a genuine gut reaction. But because of that, I'm not sure I enjoyed it.

And I don't think you necessarily have to *enjoy* every book - but at times I found this hard to pick up.

I think his rendering of the Kosovo war was haunting. He was able to make the main character so unpleasant and sympathetic at the same time. Like he's a great Writer!! But it felt almost like I was appreciating the craft and not the story.

I think maybe next time I read from this author I should actually read it instead of listening to the audiobook.

Anyways, I don't exactly know how to rate this because of the time I had reading it.
