I did not realize it was the sort of book that required an in-depth analysis of each sentence...which isn't to say that it doesn't mean anything, but the book is very wordy. And I hate using "wordy" to describe any book, because all books contain words. What I'm saying, really, is that you have access to all of the main character's thoughts, so every situation presented is elaborated upon and picked apart in her head for us to see. In other words, the book explains itself. I didn't read the book for class though, I just read it on my own time, so I wasn't required to overanalyze it.

the bits with his mad ex-wife running about in the attic were quite good. anyway, it's not the sort of book that requires great explanation, my teacher was just stupid, and she thought her students were even more stupider.
