The lack of quotation marks and dialogue indicators was jarring and a distraction at first (so much re-reading) and something I learned to work around (less rereading...but I was still re-reading). It was distracting enough that if this had been a longer story I would have bailed within the first 75 pages, and that would have been unfortunate - because ultimately I really liked the story. I did not find the shifting points of view too distracting. And...I really shouldn't have to be discussing the structure of the story telling this much...

So - short book...long read, but ultimately I liked it. I enjoyed the dry humor and descriptions.
