2.5 actually, but I've been generous to TJR before, so it's okay.

One of those books that are better listened than read :)

The book is decently paced, and gives you plenty of chances to guess wrong endings :p
Every time I was edging to a wrong conclusion, it gently corrected my course, leading to a finale that made sense and felt right. It is not like those mystery novels that pull off the rug under your feet just to boast a grand surprise — life does that to me plenty, so excuse me for wanting my books to be different. It is also not the sort of book that grips you so hard, you feel compelled to finish it quickly; instead, it is better read and discussed intermittently in a group. Lastly, I have one minor nitpick with the title: it gives me the vibe of magical realism, and there is nothing of such nature in the book.
