Reading the summary, I thought this book had great potential for a book on self-actualization and facing your demons. However, the book did not live up to my expectations. Although the writing was quite beautiful, the story itself became somewhat boring. I made it to page 150 with struggle, then I decided that those 150 pages had the same content. Quinn wants to be alone, but also doesn't. He loves his mother but he also doesn't. In short, it was a long read without any new information than had been given in the first 10 pages.
