I would have liked this book more if it had stuck to the central story. The interludes painting portraits of the other residents in the apartments were interesting, but I would have appreciated them more in a different context. As it was, they pulled me out of the main narrative at times when I wanted to know what was going to happen next, which meant I found myself hurrying through them impatiently, wanting to get back to the main story.
