Interesting idea and the first few chapters were good, but the book jumps from vignette to vignette so quickly that there is no character development, no reason to care about anyone or anything happening in the book. Dropped it about half way through because it's not worth my time, which really is a shame because the start was great and the idea had promise.
Picked this up to read for a book club. The story and characterization feels so dated I was quite surprised to discover it was published in 2001 - I was expecting something closer to 1950... The Audible narrator does it no favors either, and I found I had to bump the speed up to 2x to keep from falling asleep
