I knew it was George Saunders, so I should have expected something different. To be honest, I'm not much into gimmicks. That's what it is in a way. The quirks that Saunders puts into everything. So, I should have expected it. But a trusted friend recommended it, so I read it. And, I really enjoyed it. It was surprisingly moving. A tough book to read when you're on a trip, away from your children. Maybe now I need to go back to read the Tibetan Book of the Dead to try to understand what was really happening here. None the less, it was a good book. Deserving of the Man Booker Prize.
