Wonderful! Even though the book is quirky (I don't usually like quirky books), it was completely absorbing. I read it quite quickly which I think enhanced my enjoyment. I was able to observe the obscure connections between the characters. The book could be confusing if read over a long period. I liked the writing style and the structure of the book.
