I'm giving this 4 stars because I couldn't stop reading it but I kind of hated it and I'm left here at the end thinking WTF was that crazy ride?

Mood currently is bleak after the Las Vegas shooting a day ago and reading this creepy and malevolent book kept me in a miserable mood and yet I kept reading. Weird formatting, nutzo characters, drug addled paragraphs, unreliable narrators galore. I *think* I know what happened in the end but really....who knows. I'm not even entirely convinced all the characters we met were real people.

I loved it! Completely depressing and bleak but loved it anyway.

Read this at night and it was a very strange counterpoint to my days - being a tourist at Disney World.

Chaon pulls you right into the dark headspace of his characters and makes you feel their sadness.

Great novel. Intrigued from page one and guessing until the last chapter. I'm not sure that I could explain what it's about to anyone but I certainly enjoyed it.

Although the plot was fairly implausible, I enjoy Chaon's storytelling and writing so I read through to the end.
