This book covers a wide ranges, like a mural compared to a painting, it is broad and there is so much to look at. Yet, so far, it works and keeps me interested but not confused.

This is one long a** book! I read and read and the % complete barely moves. There are a lot of characters but so far not too many to keep track of. I keep hoping the hours left calculator or the % is not working correctly. It's not that I don't like the characters, I just don't want to be reading this book for the rest of my life.

So far I'm more intrigued than annoyed. Intrigued because the narrator is a bit edgy and mysterious. Annoyed because he talks like one of those people you meet that refer to their extended family by first name with no explanation and speak as if you know exactly who JoJo is and what the relation is between them and Susie. But maybe that adds to the mystery. It's definitely clear the narrator needs redemption.
