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.

I just couldn’t get into it, couldn’t get hooked in. It was slower than I like (I think). Moved onto something different.
