A wild ride of a novel, which requires a large amount of suspension of disbelief - especially when the narrative sweves in the last 100 pages. The story is compelling, but the characters are quite rudimentary, and they do a lot of spelling out their plans and feelings, which I found a bit jarring, but that works, once you get use to the writing style. I enjoyed reading it, but I wouldn't read it again, if that makes sense?
