For 150 pages or more I didn't much like the writing style or plot of this book. I am glad I stuck with it, though, because the story took an amazing turn near the end, with a character who'd seemed hopeless suddenly showing a startling commitment. Altogether it's a brave book that challenged some of my preconceptions.
