I was going to be bitter about the protagonist and the love story but... I mean, humanity is about that: feeling joy, love, despair. It is consistent with our spirit. The stuff that makes us what we are.

It is imaginative, clever, a little on the nose sometimes, but entertaining as hell. I couldn't drop this book until i had finished it, and it is a long book.

I don't know why the author's affection with some mean or disturbed human beings, but as I wrote above, I think it shows all of the human race's drive: live, progress, conquer, understand nature, the space, ourselves.

There are so many things that I didn't like, but it would felt like trying too hard to focus on a maybe negative subjective part of an already great tale.
