I love the idea behind this book.  I love the dreamy, trippy, meandering way the story unfolds.  There were times I was frustrated by the lack of concrete details, the purposely missing information.  I would have connected more with the characters if I could have understood them better.  This novel was distracting and kept me interested, I didn't feel the need to put it down and move onto something else (like laundry or dishes, which may have been in need of attention).  You have to have an appetite for the unbelievable, and be able to suspend your disbelief to truly enjoy this book. Not for the faint of imagination...
