Ugh. This was a wild ride - and not in a good way. The setup of this book was intriguing, but about halfway through it becomes an entirely different story, with painful reliance on mental illness stereotypes and tons of gaping plot holes. I actually enjoyed the style of writing and the first maybe 20% of the book, so I was especially disappointed when I trudged through to the absurd ending.
