This was a selection for my book club and if that was not the case, I would not have finished it. There are three different styles of narration, which rotate. Only one of these was easy to read. The other two have a narrator for whom English is his second language and he's using a thesaurus to select his words. This made his portions slow and difficult to follow however it did get easier the further I got into the book. Even though it was frustrating for me, I think it took skill on the author's part to come up with this idea and stay consistent with it. The story here is amazing and that's also what kept me hanging on to finish. The way it all weaves together is lovely. There are a few scenes that made me hold my breath and a couple that made me laugh out loud. The characters are well written and lovable, even if they aren't likable. This is not a quick, easy read but it is worth it.
