Good for learning, interesting story

This was a great book about an individual's search for happiness. I was a bit surprised by some of the sad scenes in the story, though, because of the reviews I read beforehand that mentioned the humor. I went into the story expecting it to be a little more lighthearted and then the story got quite heavy in the middle.

As for language learning, I felt pretty comfortable reading through it at my current level (N3ish). I definitely struggled with the longer sentences and some of the conversations, especially when they were making analogies, but the overall plot and some underlying messages were understandable.
