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. ;-)

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!

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.
