review 1: At first, I read this because of the author - and because I got it at a fire sale. It is a crazy ride and before long I was hooked. I didn't like all the characters, but they were very human. I really liked how the author took an archetypical story and interwove it with social an historical markers of the modern world, stepping also into the near future. I love Guterson. He really challenges a reader and I recommend this book as an out of the box experience.
review 2: I couldn't wait to finish this book......not because it was so good, but because it bored me to death. I had to force myself to pick it up and while reading to me is usually a great pleasure, it became a chore with this book. It did have just a couple parts that kept me going, but for the mo... morest part, I skimmed as much as I could. If you like books with paragraphs that take up the entire page with unending, unnecessary dribble, then give it a try, otherwise leave it on the shelf. less
