Have to think on this a bit more, definitely challenging at times funny, at times sad, always mysteriously bizarre. Could have done with 100-150 pages less though, I feel and not lost anything except for those pages that were dragging along a bit.

His depictions of female characters are at times hard to swallow and there are certainly elements that feel familiar from other books of his.
