Got bored, never finished, gave it away. ( )

The lenghtiest, meandering, humorous, substantive ramble one might imagine. It read like my brain works. I enjoyed it, but it took awhile to wade through and on occasion, I needed a break. Very similar to the way I feel about my own mind at times. ( )

Sansom is so good at illustrating the web of connections in a small town it's almost scary. The humour of the characters and their wacky, bitter, sad, mundane and momentous interactions are wonderful. This is a dense read, but once I got a couple of chapters in I fell in love with the characters and their stories...I was hooked! The use of footnotes was different, but it works for this. ( )

Loved this quirky book.
