Review: A challenging read - but not necessarily in a good way
Rating: 3 out of 5

I have to be honest and say I am having a difficult time rating this book.  It wasn't bad, but it was difficult to follow, disjointed, almost bi-polar in a way.  There were parts that flowed well and parts that were virtually unreadable from a fluidity standpoint.  It kind of gave me a headache.  The content of the story was decent, and not as run-of-the-mill as much of what you see out there these days, but that couldn't overcome the disarray of the whole thing.It didn't meet my general criteria tri-fecta for a good rating.  There was no laughter, no tears, and minimal though provocation.  The subject matter might have allowed for more if it had been more readable, but I seriously had to skip a lot of parts that just made my brain freeze up in revolt.Honest, I don't know how else to describe it, and it is unique in that I don't think I've ever had this happen to me before.  This is one of the very few times in my life that I've forced myself to walk away from a book before it was finished because I just couldn't keep going.  I did eventually come back to it and finish it, and the ending was good, but the book in general was just too draining to read, and not for good reasons.
