This novel is one of the most unusual, yet interesting books I have read for a long time. The story, entwined with human psychology, follows the lives of interesting characters set in the book, and is told in an easy to read style, peppered with myriad of expressions normally not common place. Although I was beginning to loose interest in the book, (for me this is not new; once I almost gave up reading a book by a recent Nobel price winner!) the later chapters brings everything together. The book is a must read, not just for its unusual story content, but also the unique style it is told in. Phrases beginning each section in the chapters were a novel idea to me which I loved; so much that I could not wait to finish one and start on the next section.
