At times I can honestly say I didn’t understand this book.  It wasn’t an easy to comprehend novel to read, but that’s probably my fault more than the books.  It’s definitely worth a read if you can manage to comprehend the meaning behind it.  I think it’s really intense, and I might just not be at the right level of understanding.  I did however enjoy the section about the Chameleon.  It was definitely my favorite part of the novel. 

Did I mention Dan O’Brien is the son-in-law of the people I’m staying with?  Yeah.  True story.

Shame on anyone who thinks evil of this.
