Ok, i read a lot of reviews on this book that praised it. Apparently im not on the same page. I liked the concept, it reminded me of that of The Devil's Advocate. As far as the storyline, character development and fantasy-like content, i was not impressed. While i don't much prefer fantasy/sci-fi i was willing to give it a go, but here i found it somewhat annoying and difficult to get "into" the Underground characters (Rat-people???). They seemed very vague, and somewhat irrelevant to one another. The use of symbolism was keen, but overall, I felt as though there was no structure or explanation of how these people got to the "underworld" and felt anxious to just get through the last few chapters.
