This is a very quirky book (I don't necessarily mean that in a good way) and especially by the end it reads like a confusing dream. There are lots of fun, larger than life concepts and some moments of very beautiful writing but it's not really the intimate character exploration which you might expect, especially given the length. I felt like even after 500+ pages I barely knew the characters and I still didn't understand why they did the things they did. HOWEVER you will have fun trying to explain the plot to someone else - it's just that weird.
