I am gonna keep this short. Writing was decent, had a few quite moving passages, but overall this was just not for me. It is a collection of short stories and a novella that are all loosely connected by towns or some characters that are repeated, but other than that I was not able to really make the connections. I am sure this book is exactly what some people would love, but I just felt like I was completely missing the point and it was all going over my head. I don't want to trash this or rate it too low. But at the same time my reading experience with it just wasn't great so I want to be honest.
