Yes. It took me quite a while to get used to the unusual format and style, but it did come and I’m glad I finished.

It was a very different read for me, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It’s greater than the sum of it’s parts.

I was so disappointed in this book. Got used to the format & was ok with it, but the story never came together. Worst book I’ve read in a long time!

I feel like the author took a major leap when he decided to go with that format…it was very difficult even for an experienced reader like myself to grasp…but, I think the story had a deeper meaning beyond the words. It has stuck with me. I’ve seen some people on other posts say that for them it really helped to listen to the audio version of the book to fully grasp what was being said.

I stopped reading it too. Just couldn’t get interested in it which was sad because I know several people who recommended it.
