Firstly I want to say even though there were times I found it to be overwritten that this was still very well written. So much so that I think the opening chapter may be my favourite opening I've ever read. The writing also manages to keep up a constant feeling of isolation and disorientation throughout. I loved the feeling of never knowing exactly what was going on. Unfortunately I did have a couple of issues... There's a link made between two characters which the only reasoning seemed to be to tell a totally random story that served no purpose to the ongoing plot and by the end just led to a massive loose thread that was never tied up. Speaking of the ending, sadly we were given a cop out ending when the perfect ending was staring the author (and reader) in the face. It would have wrapped everything up perfectly while still keeping with the author's open to interpretation aim. I didn't want any "answers" but there was a much better and obvious way to leave us guessing.
