A lot of people call it dark, though I'd call it slightly pretentious. That being said, I want to read it again now that I know how it plays out so I can get a better feel for it, but it did seem that Erickson tries too hard to be unique in this first book. So we'll see how the tone changes since the rest weren't for a screenplay.
