I didn't really enjoy this book as I found it quite random and not that gripping. I liked the writers use of language and it was quite surreal, which was at least different. But the main reason for my lack of engagement was that I didn't really feel strongly about either character so I ended up not being that interested in what happened to each of them in the end of the story. Luckily it was quite short so I did finish it out of interest. However, I think that, had it been longer, it would have been left unfinished on the side. I much perefered both the other books we have read and am reading such a good book at the moment (The help, by Katherine Stockett) that I wasn't too enthused about this one.
