If you are a casual reader looking for a breezy summer read, please keep looking. This novel is a mental workout. Vian's style might not be for the novice reader, but his story resonates well after laying this novel aside, whether to recover from it, to cogitet further on it, or to redirect one's thoughts to the rest of one's life. His characters seem to be acting in an unending drug-induced state of hyper-focus and unreality, but the story of brilliant, misguided, funny, sometimes cruel lives inextricably twined is told seamlessly.

Interesting storyline. Characters approach reality, but fall short. Ever read a mystery novel in which the author writes interesting main characters who they try to make very hard, nonchalant and smart all at the same time, all of the time?
You will occasionally be reminded of the writing process. But then, if this genre is your bag, the characters may eventually grow on you. And the story will move you to turn the pages. And you might want to get the other books in this series and the corollary series' by Feist.
I have the full set of Feist's 3 Riftwar books now.
