It deserves another reading -- more of a novella. Many of the novel's paragraphs consist of ONE sentence with the slim "paragraphs" separated by double or triple spacing. Kind of a bizarre format, IMO. Without all that extra spacing it may have been more like 80 pages long. Enough on format.
But the ending left me thinking, "Huh?"
Like I said, it's a quick read so I should definitely give it the benefit of the doubt and reread it so it has a chance to come together for me.
