My buddy recommended this book to me. I liked its refreshing writing style although the plot was a bit complex for my taste. I wasn't surprise, however, knowing that my friend is an experimental novel junkie. The ending was very tastefully executed, I must say. The link my buddy pointed me to was helpful :

Anyway, I commend the author for trying to break the mold.
Happy reading!

Definitely one of the weirdest and confusing books I've ever read. It took me a while to finish cuz i had no idea where it was going or what exactly was going on. But for some reason by the end it was still a decent book. [SPOILER ALERT] I think the main point of the book was to show how everyone was connected, but it was in such a weird and sci-fi way that it would have been impossible to figure out at the beginning. I an still a little confused about how exactly everyone was connected. Also, n...more
Part Lost, part Heroes, part detective mystery; this well-written mind-bending book will give you many mysteries to solve along the way. The author's writing style is fresh and fun to read, and kept my interest from start-to-finish. The book follows a cast of about twenty characters as their lives weave together.
As soon as I finished the book, I just had to read it a second time, both to gain a more thorough understanding, and because I just wasn't ready for it to be over yet. That second readin...more

It was simply awful. Kudos to the author, his friends and family for the fake reviews.
Ugh...all that for nothing.
Definitely novel and puzzling. At times too obscure and in dire need of editing. I both liked and disliked this book. By 70% of the way through, I just wanted it to end. During the last 10% or so, the pieces were put in place, and were very cool. The prose is sometimes torturous, and sometimes brilliant. A truly mixed bag of a book, so I give it three stars but can't recommend it because of the uneven writing.
For me, this novel read like a long poem. I needed set-aside time and a distraction-free corner to fully appreciate it. The numerous characters threw me off at first but its odd but fresh writing style kept me reading. I most enjoyed the last chapter where things were put together brilliantly. It is one of those books that people will either love it or hate it.
I enjoyed this book although I was often confused about the characters. About half way through, I started keeping a list of all the characters, their descriptions and how they related to each other. I feel like I need to read it again to really understand the story.
The author delivers an unconventional blend of mystery and psychological drama. His unusual style creates a constellation of characters around a set of serial killings. As the story unfolds, you discover a web of interrelations between the quirky, often bizarre characters and these unprecedented brutalities. You must negotiate these incidents alongside the characters, moving through a dreamlike world that is at times pierced with harsh truth. With themes of loneliness, love, and the power of the...more
This book is a masterpiece. It takes you in an exhilarating journey where one is captivated to hold self and flow with the pages. Almost each page unfolds a secret but also puzzles reader’s mind with few more. It sets herself apart with a legendary writing style which draws a multi dimensional picture for its readers. I almost stopped everything else when I started reading this book and felt elated after finishing it in a week. This book is a bundle of secrets and I felt like a detective in the...more
