The second half of the novel, the beginning started to wear a little thin for me. I was invested enough in myself the reader that i wanted to know what was going to happen to me. The fact that he is playing with who you ras a person is kind of fun. And similarly, when he shifts the second person to ludmilla, and he's telling you all the things that he does and does not know about you, like, all that stuff is really kind of interesting. If you're looking for a twentieth century book that is interested in post modern, it is doing post modern stuff.
