Not what I thought it was going to be. The characters change from chapter to chapter with possibly only one continuing on through the story. Lost some momentum for me at the end, but I enjoyed the crafting of the tale.

Part of me did not want to like this book, because it's not my usual style. There's a chapter written like David Foster Wallace, one in Powerpoint, one in a second person view. But despite my best intentions of staying above the gimmicks I ended up liking this book a LOT.
