2.0

I had difficulty throughout this book. I do have a fairly strong background in Buddhism but found the stream-of-consciousness pot-infused style of the first story convoluted and rather pedantic. The second story was easier to read/follow, but I find it hard when so much detailed dialogue is recounted by someone (Queenie) who wasn't present to hear the dialogue. The connection between the stories was so contrived that it held no power for me. Overall, a disappointing read.
