The characters are more interested in their story than I am, and the premise is absurd.

Meh.

A book for the slow at heart, the patient reader, or the literary geek.

I'm not sure how much I care about these characters. They seem pretty self-absorbed. And, really, who IS Mary Sabon? Vandermeer name-dropped her in "The Early History of Ambergris". I only know that she has some relationship with Duncan Shreik, but have very little sense of who she is.
