Wife bought me this book. Didn't know what to make of it. Let's just say she really knows my taste. Very inventive.

Perhaps I was too young to appreciate it then, but my memories of it are disjointed and confused. The author's intent?

I liked this book a lot, but it was a bit tedious sometimes keeping up with the story.

I was rooting for the wrong person through out this book, which was quite disappointing, and ruined my enjoyment a bit.

A super-quick and awesome read that's very clever and original. The mystery is exciting, and the narrator is so unique and interesting.
