It's becoming tedious to read. It starts out fine, nice mystery and humorous at the same time, but it soon becomes tedious with all the intentional delays in revealing simple things, going about it in an exaggerated round-about way, such as "and the killer is.... oh no I have to go take care of my daughter now, we will continue this conversation in about 5-6 pages of fluff..." yeah, no that is annoying. Update: I finished reading this book and I retain the 3/5.

Instalove to obsessive degrees, a completely unreasonable main character. An unlikeable fmc, a mistery that i couldn't find myself caring about. An ending that worked.
I really enjoyed the first half of the book but the second half was so farfetched and there were several loose ends at the end. Not one of his best books but still worth a read if you like his writing!

I really wanted to know what happened, but so much of the story seemed implausible and unrealistic. I also didn't like the voice of the narrator very much.
