A novel presented in a series of small vignettes. This was just average for me. There were some good pieces, but overall I was left mostly just okay with it all. The writing is decent, but the approach just didn't grab me as anything special. I didn't not like it, but I wasn't particularly moved either. I wanted something more fleshed out. I can understand why some would give this 5 stars as I think it really does depend on your reading tastes.
