I was skeptical about the structure of this novel as I began it. The bouncing back and forth in time, storylines, and points of view, seemed ambitious and had the opportunity to become messy, fast. But the story moved along in a natural way, allowing for details to be revealed when they would most impact the reader. The subtle way that we grow to despise Leslie as the book progresses is well crafted and even his last attempt at dignity can't sway us back.
