Slow and steady wins the race

A bag of marbles. Some parts of the book were brilliant, the imagery was fantastic and very well written. however, some parts were too long. Some of the descriptions were too lengthly and i was getting bored. A unique novel that should be read once. I wouldn't reread this book again because of it's slow moving pace but i did enjoy the characters and plot. I would suggest this to patient readers who appreciate literary style more than suspense.
