~ I bled you dry not to kill you but to fill your veins with wine instead.
 I destroyed the synapse of your mind not to make you stupid, but to make you receive his instructions clearly.

This book is really a unique piece of work. It looks like a collection of Prose, poems and even songs and indeed it is. But, once started reading it will Make sense as a story, a novel. Maybe, that is why it is called a Metaphysical novel. This is about the story of a boy on a ship, the captain of the ship and others in there, another guy with a confused past. But his story holds more lessons. It deals with love, self-discovery, spirituality, subconscious mind and much more. It is also highly philosophical. The way the author has written this book, makes it a personal one to everybody who reads it. It helps the reader to attach to the book.
The language of the book is more poetic. This is one of those which can be read just for its language. The writing style can be quite confusing if you didn't pay much attention. Because the narration and the plot of the book changes often. Also, the time keeps on changing. So, it's safe to read this book mindfully. This is not the book, which you can be finish in one sitting or a quick read. This book will take time but it's worth it. Some passages even need to be reread, in order to completely understand what is going on.
PS: Reading Author’s note and Foreword, before starting the actual novel can help the reader understand and interpret better.
