I just finished this book, after Ei-Nyung, Colin and Andre all had good things to say about it, and I’m floored. Not only was it the best published book I’d read in a while (it might inch up toward the top three, for me), conceptually, it’s so brilliant it’s like a magic trick – I can’t even begin to understand how someone writes a story like that.
Sure, during the writing and editing process, you’re free to chop, and edit, and rearrange – but this all felt so natural, so linear, despite its chronological disjointedness that it felt like it just flowed, from start to finish. I loved the characters, I loved the story, and at the end… well, I won’t spoil it.
It’s a great book.
Thanks for the recommendation. I got this as a gift a while ago but haven’t made time to read it. I’ll bump it up on the list when I get back.
