I was sceptical going into this because generally experimental novels are not for me. I did like this one a lot though.
I loved
- The 'Zampano' parts. Not only the plot of the Navidson Record, which was extremely intriguing and well-executed, but also Zampano's description of the shots etc.
- Johhny's mother's letters
- The play with the shape of the text in the most tense parts of the Navidson Record.
I liked less:
- Johnny's ramblings. They just couldn't hold my attention the way most of the rest of it could....
