I read this because I liked his other work but it felt like a worse version of The Curious Incident.  The characters simply didn't ring true and were hard to relate to.  I wanted to like this, I really did. I didn’t hate it, but after 500 pages about some fairly awful people and a very meh ending, I wouldn’t recommend it either.
