Often fairly incoherent, but with frequent brilliance despite this. I oddly get the impression that the parts I found incoherent would be found brilliant by others and vice versa. When I could work my way through the layers the humour and understanding was wonderful. I shall be returning to this book again to try and winkle out more of it's gems.
I read the audiobook, and though Lavery has an excellent voice, I think the audiobook probably suffers from the lack of page architecture, containing multiple conversations in the format:
A: says something
B: says something else
Without character voices these quickly become tedious and hard to follow.
