I'm having really hard luck with my reading slump. It's been a minute since I've read a great one (besides the Frankenstein reread I just did). I was hoping this would cure me but. Alas. This book just didn't work for me. Maybe it was that I lost count of how many times someone pissed/shat their pants or maybe it was the weaving in and out of time or maybe it was that there were too many stories happening. It could just have been that the story wasn't right for me. There was potential in this, I just didn't think it worked overly well. I didn't hate it, it's a solid three, I just didn't really... like it very much, Maybe it should be a two but I really don't think it elicited enough in me to make me dislike it enough for a two rating.
