Mostly I like the book. Weird and fast-paced, not sticking with a group or story for too long. However, I think it could’ve been trimmed in some places and expanded in others. I wanted more from some ideas and could’ve gone without others. I can see why it was shortlisted for the Mann Booker prize though. An interesting and thought-provoking read.
