My main feeling during the book was that it was weird. Not bad weird, not necessarily good weird, just a bit odd. I found it took a while to get into, I was never bored, but I also wasn't really all that interested for a large portion of the beginning of this one. Then it started to pick up and I found I really started to enjoy things once we met Jacky and that lot.
There were a lot of interesting ideas, strange characters and weird happenings in this novel. I enjoyed it, but I'm sure I don't understand half of it. Although a few of the motivations were very clear, most really weren't. I know what they were trying to achieve but I still don't know why. I'm not sure it really matters. It was a fun read anyway. Strange, but fun.

I have the book on my list, Sounds like a nice book.
I've heard really good things. Rob just read it and said it started really well but he didn't enjoy the turn it took in the middle. He also jumped into the next in the series immediately so I'm pretty sure it's a good read. I'll be sure to let you know what I think when I'm done with it :)
I had much the same problem as you I think. I thought it was technically proficient, but somehow failed to engage me. I much preferred his earlier work, The Drawing of the Dark.
You always manage to express your thoughts/feelings in a great way. I hope your next book will be more enjoyable :)
