It took me two starts to get into this book, but once I made up my mind to get through it the pay off was there. It's a dark, dirty little book, a glimpse into a future not too impossible, it made my brain squirm a little. There are times it might be hard to follow, but there are flashes of such brilliant writing, I relished the tripping around through time into the characters' lives.
