What can I say about this book? I don't feel right admitting that I didn't like it very much, but it was just awful, catastrophic! It was so scattered and chaotic, shifting from character to character so abruptly, I couldn't tell what was going on. Perhaps that was the point, it being a post 9/11 novel. It was a thought-provoking read, but extremely frustrating to get through.

Deals with September 11 and how it has changed the way people view their lives in this world. I found it extremely difficult to follow the shifts in narration and it took me halfway through the book before I could really get past the author's surrealistic writing style. It was worth the struggle, though, and I found the ending quite poignant.

what was this author thinking? i have no clue! this much acclaimed book left me not feeling anything , in fact i did not finish it.
i love a good way out there book but this was too far out. maybe that was the idea,but it missed me by a mile. i never knew who he was talking about with his use of pronouns and not names. life is too short to read such a convoluted book! it did not even make my 100 page limit!
