I liked this book quite a bit, but nowhere near as much as I loved his first book, _The Memory of Running_. This one was interesting, a fast read and with a pretty surprising twist at the end, but it didn't have the same charm...
I think, really, the main difference was my opinion of the narrators - I just didn't like "Bozo" all that much... and maybe it was in part to do with the relationships with women that he described, or maybe because he just seemed awfully passionless - I'm not really sure. I did enjoy it, but just not as much as his first. He set a high standard, but I have hopes that maybe his third book has recaptured the lost magic of his first...
