I abandoned this partway through. Something went wrong with the sync to my iPod, and I was missing part of a track. Apparently I wasn't enjoying the story enough to bother to try and re-sync and then figure out what I'd listened to already. The book follows three stories, and at the point I'd gotten to none of them had really made any progress yet, in part because you're jumping back and forth between them. It just wasn't for me, apparently.
