All the jumping around in time was just confusing and didn't work for me. I disliked this book and will not be reading it again, though I did finish it.
Looking back on the book now, from a distance of several years, all that remains is a strong feeling of distaste and dislike. I can't help feeling that it has been greatly overrated and that some of the overrating is due to people's being (mistakenly, IMHO) impressed by the sheer novelty of the idea of Henry's malady. Novel, it is, but it is not enough to compensate for the book's bad qualities: confusion, constant obscenity, and poor writing (cardboard characters, for one thing).
