I just couldn't get through it, and had to abandon it - despite some good reviews.
I found the main character so completely boring and shallow, and while the idea of him being able to 'see' only in the dark was interesting, it wasn't interesting enough to keep me reading.

One of Bowie's top 100 books apparently. Not one of mine.
