It lost me a little in the middle, but picked up for the last third or so, from the conversation with the others - definitely the strongest point of the book. Structurally, quite over the place and it was hard to actively keep myself engaged. Not something to read obsessively in one sitting for sure, but it was nice to come and go with reading portions over a week or so and to reflect on.  Some very lovely passages in amongst the rough.
