I didn't get it. I am not sure what I was supposed to think, and just didn't jive with it.

The writing frustrated me more than interest me. It rambled like someone on drugs (not saying the author was on drugs, just that's how the characters are presented) with extreme highs and extreme lows; and it was all over the place. I also disliked how each paragraph would switch from past to present mid chapter.

The style of this novel was interesting. The writing took some warming up to, but overall I enjoyed it.
