I find that the book begins great, the text is very poetic, tinged with a fancy grain. The character, Tom, is really endearing and waterfalls. It starts on the road to occur and the first half of the book is really well written and fun. I find that the book becomes a little too surreal from when Tom returned to the hospital. He met a woman-bird and made a pact with her. It sails in fact between dream and reality, but the message is delivered so too absurd for me.
