At times his metaphors were a bit on the nose and too moralising, and his attempt to write in the voice of each character works brilliantly for some and not that well for others. But I did appreciate the symbolism of lenses, seeing, and shooting.
Weaving all the different characters' storylines together must have been a huge challenge and it doesn't quite work out, but it's still a solid ending.
Looking forward to his next novel, to be released next month.
