The book itself is a wonder. Read it three times and try to piece together what is happening and what the grander scheme is of the Administration and the Forest. I'd recommend to a select few, but the reality is that this book is confusing, purposefully so, as a reflection of not knowing what we don't know but stuck in that inevitable rut of not knowing.
