This is not the best novel of the year but I was able to follow it...
- Not one of my most favorite but it was interesting. I don't really identify with these people that can't get their lives together and then be so self-riotous that they feel it is their duty to take control of a situation that is not their responsibility. I hope that was vague enough not to give anything away. In any case. The descriptions, narration and plot line went along well enough. Performances by these narrators are amazing to me. To be able to keep track of the character and gender, bravo! Thank you for your talents. You make these stories easy to follow.... most of the time ;)
