It was an interesting concept, but there were too many disjointed ideas and separate stories in too short a space. Which might have been fine if I would have been able to read this book all in one sitting, but coming back to it wasn't easy. Which story is this again? Especially since some of them weren't so straightforward and you had to figure them out as you go. Which is fine - but when you've got several story lines and in more than one you're trying to figure out what's going on, it gets to be too much. I realize they mostly came together in the end, but still. Not easy to follow.
