I had been wanting to read this book for a while now, but this wasn't quite what I expected. Thought this would have explored multiple differing writing styles, but even though the stories change, the style remains. An energy-consuming read and a disappointment. Bonus points for a creative, experimental premise. All in all, I liked the original idea (but not the execution), the mystery and the concept of the Reader. Disliked the sexism and overall dullness.
