    Lost in Translation?
    I really struggled to grasp what the writer wanted me to get from this book. Maybe it had to do with the translation or perhaps just this reader's own shortcomings.

    Absolutely baffled
    I just did not get this book, coming of age? Bible related with the frogs, plague, bleeding walls? This book was so confusing. Not a true theme or plot. I don't know what I missed but I sure missed it.
