This is an exceptionally weird book and nothing like I expected. I think I appreciated it more than I actually enjoyed it. It was trying to do SO much and really probably too much. I think if it had been a bit more focused, it might have been more successful for me, but I had trouble really connecting to any of the characters because it was so all over the place. Interesting but not as effective as I think it should have been.
