The writing and the unusual, slightly disorienting style were well executed, but I can't help but feel like the plot was an absolute mess from start to finish. It's a crime novel that never properly explains the crime, the end is unbelievably wishy-washy when what you want is the nitty gritty explanations. It feels like the author had some 'cool' ideas and didn't bother to tie them together. When I finished the book and started to think about it too many things were simply never addressed or explained or drawn to a satisfying conclusion.
