I really enjoyed this. I'm not sure I fully get it (even just a few of the basic plot points- I listened to it as an audiobook and the book felt like it jumped around a little too much for me to digest fully), but this book was the correct kind of meandering. It told a lot of interesting small stories, and led up to a really cool big story.
