A lengthy read that might make you want to stop before you get halfway--- IF alternating between several decades back and forth and back and forth irritates you, iF dialogue in a foreign language without translation irritates you, IF lengthy sections about only one character make you forget the other main characters, IF what may seem like random inserts of the dead character's diary pages confuse you.
If you live in or grew up in tornado alley, you might find interesting how the "story" of the one that hit this town takes on a life of its own. I know the "tornado" theme was what made me put the book on my wish list in the first place.
But overall I liked the book, it was just a struggle to get through it with all the changes in timeframe, voice, and focus. I considered giving up many times, but was glad I finished it.
