Not bad: Very "Great Gatsby-ish", but lacking a structured story line. Character development is full and deeply engaging, but the story lacks a build up and a climax - unless you want to call the opening of the truck the climax; if that is the case, the exploration of how that affects Viva is shallow and disappointing, as if the author just tried to hurry and finish the book. Worth a read, but don't expect any earth shuddering revelations.
