I just can't appreciate the weirdness of this book.
Helpful Score: 3
This is a very unique book. There were many sentences in the book which struck me and that I enjoyed very much (such as Mees' observation that her dog smells like popcorn), but I found the story difficult to follow. The short chapters describe a large number of different characters, and the narrative jumps from character to character even within the brief chapters. Perhaps if I had been able to read this book in one sitting I would have enjoyed it more. However, the novel is well-written and oddly touching.

Eclectic, wonderfully written with intriguing characters. A delightful read!

I had trouble getting into this book, and it didn't hold my attention, despite the "magical realism." Characters were good, though.
