I read (more accurately listened to) this book a couple of years back. The story itself was engaging and I remember I liked the way everything was described. Once I finished the book though I didn't feel like I took away anything from it. I kind of enjoyed the story, but I have always wondered whether I missed something. Was I supposed to get some understanding of something that was "between the lines"? Did I miss some underlying concept or thread? It's a mystery to me, I just saw it as a well said story. Anyone have any tips on how to "understand the meaning" of the book?
