I'm only writing a 'review' because nobody else has done so. I shouldn't really be giving it a star rating as I gave up on the book but I read enough to see that the style is original (quirky?)and would appeal to a certain type of reader ( a Roberto Bolano fan?). The story is told in short chapters by three alternating male narrators. I'm afraid, at each chapter, I kept having to turn to the beginning of the book to see which of the characters was doing the narrating. Despite the book being very slim (182 pages) I decided I had other books that were waiting to be read that would be more worth MY while. One of them is The Savage Detectives but I'm already doubtful about that one.
