it was ok

I had a very hard time with the writing style of this book. It follows in a very scattered way, a teenage runaway, an odd child. I couldn't tell if the writer was trying to show us that the scattered teenager had so many thoughts through her mind, that you were SUPPOSED to feel that scattered feeling, but it was just irritating.

I had a hard time connecting with the characters. I know Katherine Dunn is a good writer, and I loved her style in Geek Love, but this was not like that. The writing was disjointed. I felt bad for the main character ever so slightly, but didn't connect with any of the characters in the story. There wasn't enough development of the characters, and honestly, I had a hard time even understanding what was happening until about 1/2 way through the book. I will say, I enjoyed the second 1/2 MUCH more than the first half. But, I won't read it again.

Mira fisher Helpful review. I am on page 20 and feeling dull and abandoned (maybe aptly so???)
