I found that the first 3/4 of this book was really quite good/well written/curious. I really looked forward to my next read. However, the last several chapters including the climax and conclusion, took very weird turns which caused significant disappointment. It is worth a read I suppose as it should conjure up interesting post-read conversations. Just beware, this book is odd. Oh, and there were a couple of minor characters that didn't seem relevant. It's quite possible I didn't delve in far enough though as I was quite distracted by the theme.
