Describe a part of the book that made you feel something strongly (i.e. something that made you cry, laugh, get really angry, etc.).
I felt like there were parts that were very powerful, like the references to the songs of family, evil, the pearl, and so on. And I liked that it was about a culture I don't usually read about often. But, I also feel that some parts just seem to go on forever, just describing stuff and nothing really happening. I think I would like the book better if it wasn't for school, and I could have read it faster at some parts, and taken my time on others.
