Okay...this was a swing and an overall miss for me. A good chunk of this story dragged for me. The final 100 pages (or so) were fantastic, but I felt like I had to cut through a lot to get there. I also wasn't a huge fan of the way it was written. The semi-stream of consciousness/2nd person narration didn't really work for me, except for in the last 2 sections.
I loved the creepy elements, lore, and the building sense of dread, but was completely pulled out by the sheer amount of basketball that was being played and described in the novel. I think I understand what Jones was trying to do, but it didn't land for me at all.
