Best for readers who...
Good fit if you want...
- You need a direct treatment of its subject.
- You want a book that does not take long to understand.
- If you enjoy condensed, powerful scenes, the plot offers no tidy answers, leaving your sympathies to shift as characters make difficult decisions.
- You want a reference book rather than a regular read.
- You need a completely different mood.
- If you dislike shifting perspectives, the prose indulges in poetic detours that slow narrative progress.
