This book feels like my father-in-law who talks, talks, talks to the point where I can’t hear myself think. The story isn’t interesting. I don’t care about the characters. And all they do is talk. I’m out.

This was, in my opinion, a pretty non-traditional type of book.  It followed 1 character through out his life telling his story via vignettes weaved together.  It was an easy read with surreal elements to it.

Could not get into it. Did not keep my attention. Slow. I may have read  almost half the book. I found myself having to go back to reread. Disappointing.
