After a long time I've read a book that was unputdownable as it neared the half way mark! What a ride! Feels like I've just been to Japan and British Columbia. But hey, don't read it if you don't have an open mind. Like Murakami level open mind. ;-) ...more

Too much high-brow talk of quantum physics and the metaphysical realm for my liking. Dream sequences that made no sense to me. Characters that were either totally unbelievable or ridiculously boring could not hold my attention. I really struggled with this read.

I didn't know what to expect from this book, but from the very first chapter, it drew me in. Even though the subject matter is sometimes really horrible, it's a very readable, enjoyable book. Highly recommended! ...more

Meh. 2.5. Didn't finish it exactly. Got really close. Skimmed the last 40 ish pages and also skimmed about 40 mid book.
I'm with those who didn't like the Ruth sections, the dreams, or the last 1/3 of the book.
