Often, when asked if what I’m reading is a good book I hesitate before answering, trying to decide what the asker really means. Do they mean is it exciting? Funny? Full of interesting characters? Recently, someone asked me that and when I hesitated they gave me this as a clarifier: ''Are you better off for having read it?''. In this instance, yes. I think I am. However, despite coming away from this book with a strong positive feeling about it, it’s also left me a little befuddled.

This book sounds really differerent and interesting but i am concerned about the 'stark Dutch mountains'. I'm from Limburg, the southernmost part of The Netherlands and there ain't no mountains here, stark or otherwise. I'll admit to some grassy cow-infested hills.
