This book is a lot more introspective than the other books in this series. It deals gently with the darker side of personality and experience. Because of this, it isn't an easy read. You have to really concentrate to follow the philosophical wonderings of each character, and so it isn't a book to read when you are tired. I kept having to re-read sections to grasp what was being said. Therefore, it isn't as 'enjoyable' but certainly worth it.
