3.5. Interesting? yes, as expected from someone who wrote Fight Club and Choke.
Have i enjoyed reading it? at some point yes, other times no, since I was left both confused and frustrated.

I think this is one of the books that needs a re-read because of the complexities and easter eggs lying in the middle of the pages (as these were also a part of the story).

Nevertheless, it's still interesting and thinking of it right now, Chuck is one of the most unique writers out there.

Interesting format for writing dialog, but became tedious after awhile. I have a feeling it would make a better movie than book. I can see it as a Cohen Bros. or Wes Anderson project.

I'm simply not smart enough to understand this book in one reading and didn't enjoy it enough to encourage a second.
DEFINITELY for some... Just not me
