This is the first book of the author that I'm reading, so the style was a surprise. I'm still undecided on whether I liked the style or not though - in some places, it was very well written and in others, well.. I had to re-read some parts again because to figure out if it was the past, recent past, present or the recent future! I realize there's something unique about it and a lot of authors these days do use similar narratives, but personally, I don't enjoy it all that much. Mostly because it tends to divert me from the story and ends up highlighting the technique - it's like a person not being able to enjoy the ride because he/she is concentrating too much on the actual driving! (Poor analogy, but you get my drift..)

I liked the plot and the characters, esp. Alice Bhatti and Noor - I thought they were portrayed really well, even if a tad removed from reality.

Good read - something unique and different from what I've been reading for a while now and hence, a very refreshing change!
