it was ok

Painful to read. The narrator's voice was unnatural, the plot -- if it can be called such -- was undeveloped or Gunn tried too hard for metaphysical depth and ended up with pages of scattered meanderings. And I never thought I'd say a book was too descriptive, but this book was; the narrator never stopped talking about the most meaningless details.

I had high hopes for this books and it met none of them. With that said, Gunn's sentences are well-crafted and there is a certain art to her style. Neither of these gifts, however, can save this book.
