It started off hard to follow but made a bit more sense as the pieces fell into place. It's an intriguing story and take on human behavior. I don't know if it was quite my cup of tea, but there are quite a few notes and quotes I've saved from this book to refer back to one day - some funny quips, but mostly eloquent ways to frame the human experience.
