rating:
while clever, it was writing at its most self indulgent, and that can alienate the reader. i enjoy a book that pulls the rug out from under me to a point, but an author can only do that so many times before trust is lost and you don't care about the characters anymore. plus i'm not big into the breaking the fourth wall trend that swept the arts in the 80's. i like the fourth wall where it is, it's why i read fiction!
