As Flies to Whatless Boys

Hmmm... this book was incredibly hard for me to get into to begin with. It bounces around in a way that is reminiscent of Cloud Atlas, but it isn't as well balanced or well done as Cloud Atlas. There are parts that are incredibly heart-wrenching, parts that are beautiful, and parts that are incredibly endearing. However, there are also parts that are forced, over-indulgent, and seemingly pointless and not at all connected to the plot.

At times, I really did enjoy the book, and at other times, I just knew that I would never possibly be able to get through the rest of the book. However, at the end of it, I realized that I liked it overall.
