This is the weirdest book I've EVER read. I'm pretty sure it was the intention of Neil but throughout the story I had trouble distinguishing between what was reality, a dream, or even a reality distorted by the three "women" (what are they? Goddesses?).
This is my first book by this author, and I don't usually read books of this genre. I am extremely confused. Unfortunately, I didn't like it but I could see why someone would. It just isn't my thing.
