I wasn't a huge fan. It was Ok, but slow moving and slightly boring with all the feel of reading a paper on botany, most specifically moss and it's growth and a man's gradual parting of reality as it were. It was Ok, but it reminded me very much of Finegan's Wake without the entertaining drunken dream. If you like contemplative fiction of a type that wants to feel like a true memoir but not quite, you'll like this one. But, I stumbled acorss it and gave it a chance but wasn't a big fan. Happy reading guys.
