Things and people moved around me taking positions in obscure hierarchies, participating in systems I didn't know about and never would. A complex network of objects and concepts. You live through certain things before you understand them. You can't always take the analytical position.
This one was a ride. I liked the complexity of the characters especially Frances and Nick, did I sympathize with them tho? Not really. Even with these not so good feelings towards them I did relate to some things that Frances went through.
This was overall a pretty solid book even though sometimes it made me frustrated.
