Great ideas but the writing didn't work for me. Couldn't get into the story or the characters that well, but seeing all (what was novel) the ideas and concepts was still fun.

I couldn't understand this book. It was a hard book to read. I liked the language used by the bartender like addressing Case as "Artiste" and like the picturesque description of the settings in the book. But I couldn't understand the plot, I couldn't understand or follow the motivation of the characters. I took help from the Internet to follow what's the story about, but still I seemed to have missed much of the story in this book. Given the number of awards this book has won, the experience was little unexpected one for me.
