What saved this for me was the audio, I think. I also read some sections, but listening helped differentiate the MANY different voices. Still, although it is in some ways impressive, what's most impressive about it is that he sustained this for a whole book, when I think a short story would have been sufficient. Except that it's a whole book, it feels a bit derivative of the last act of Our Town, which features the voices of the dead in the town cemetery.
