what I liked most about the book is that there are so many different, fresh ideas in it. I loved the way the different societies are described and the non-human sentient creatures plus flora and fauna of New-Half-Way Tree. Also pretty cool that it is written in caribbean patois and that I learned something about caribbean culture e.g. the traditional carnival and its characters.

Also the story of Tan-Tan (the main character) is very intriguing and in many places it is unpredictable what will happen next.
