I really enjoyed the unique voice of the protagonist and found her worldview to be very poetic. But ultimately I think the book could have used a bit more editing, as many of the scenes had a tendency to drag on without really advancing the story. I was also super appalled by the Missus character, and to a lesser degree by Mister and Rodger Marvin as well. The ending doesn't offer any closure, either, and though I know there are hundreds of good reasons to do this in a novel, it rarely sits well with me.
