Finch

I'm not sure if I liked the fragmented style of writing, which is faintly ironic because it is how I do it when I'm writing for my own amusement. Other than that, I thought the city and world and characters and, well, everything was deep and interesting and puzzling. I didn't realize that there are other books set in this universe, but I suppose that makes sense, consider just how multilayered everything in Finch was. The ending was somewhat nonconclusive, in my opinion, but that seems in keeping with the kind of story being told. I will always prefer a “make my skin crawl” concrete ending, but the story of Finch is complete, so I shan't complain. Heh.

A nice conclusion to the Ambergris saga. Relatively straightforward noir-style detective tale lacks some of the postmodern fun of the previous works.
