I have some mixed feelings about this one, it felt at times like more than one book to me. There is an incredible amount of detail that at times seems like overkill. On the other hand, there are so many profound thoughts that just blew me away. I would definitely read this, and if, like me, you find yourself rolling your eyes upon occasion at all of the detail, just slog through because I do think you will find it time well spent. I really love this author. I found this a bit more serious than his other books, a little less whimsical-quirky. But the character development is amazing, I really feel like I know these people and would recognize them on the street!
