review 1: Overall I liked the book. A short way in I almost put it down for good. I am glad I pushed through, because some parts were very good and spot on. Almost curmudgeonlike, not angry though, but seeing things more realisticly, sad as they are. I may go back through and highlight these passages. Other parts of the book I just didn't get, like the Math and some parts I couldn't connect with any of the rest of the book. I'm probably not smart enough. If there are chapters, #44 at first I thought was silly. But then when I checked it again, who is going to make this list of things we do in life. If you go over this and look back on your own life what memories, regrets, bad times and good times can you remember?
review 2: I'm a die-hard Percival Everett fan, but alas, ... moreI must confess that this one just didn't do it for me like _I'm Not Sidney Poitier_ or _American Desert_ or even another of his "experimental novels," _The Water Cure_. I'm OK with his casting a lot of plot lines and only reeling in one or two. I just missed the rapier wit and the deep thought that I often found in other Everett books. I saw a smattering of such in this book, just not as much as I'm used to. less
