3.0

The disjointed, fractured writing style is jarring and interrupts the flow of each narrative (and the book as a whole).  I know this book thinks it's high-art literary fiction, but, it just reads like unrelated short stories told by someone who likes very short sentences and very long lists.   Seriously, I have never seen a book with this many lists of random shit.  Pretentious and underwhelming.
