I will open with the disclaimer that I audiobooked this and it might be easier to follow if you have pages to flip back and forth to. Interesting story, including many great short-stories-within-a-story - the type you find yourself retelling to others, even. My problem is that it follows like 4 or 5 different people, whose paths don't really cross, while also attempting to build up to a climax along only one of the storylines? I thought it was just all anecdotes until I was more than halfway through and I realized that the story was actually supposed to be moving in a direction. I was disappointed, ultimately.
