Keep going, he'll grow on you (maybe). I like his sparse writing -- nothing froufrou, just straight to the point, clean and direct...

I don't think so :-( I don't like his conversations, repetitive, circular, two pages of "Do you love me? You're a good boy." "I do love you, I really do. You're a wonderful girl." ...

I'm reading a LibraryThing Early Reader book that took 6 months to get to me. It's called The Nobodies Album and right now, the setting is in San Francisco. An interesting part of the book includes the main character, an author, writing a book that is a compilation of redos of the final chapters of her other novels. Talk about the ultimate "do-over"! (This is by the woman who wrote Dogs of Babel.)
