The story everywhere, every line has hidden meanings attached, which relate with real lives.
But when reading the book, one finds that it is very strenuous, to accept all what thw author wants to convey. It is difficult to find meanings in every instant. This makes the book confusing, and partially understood. So it is mistaken, in many lines.
The book has written quotes, which have meaning, but it turns out the relevance of the line is unwanted nd added as an additive, in order to make the book more boring and uninteresting. The author has put emphasis on the region of hos interests only and none other.
