I read it three or four years ago and found myself underwhelmed. For me, it's in the category of books that work best when you're at a certain age, like the Catcher in the Rye. I could, of course, see its qualities but I couldn't connect to it at all, which is a serious problem in a book that banks so much upon empathy.
