Isadora really isn't a likable person.  I spent the first part of the book in between a state of pity and disgust for her.  She really made some terrible choices.  But after the pieces of her past start filtering in, you begin to at least understand her.  She is basically using every means at her disposal to forget. Forget her past, forget what she does for a living, forget what she has done.  Not to mention that she is a full blown drug-addict. She really needed help.  Unfortunately her luck with falling into helping hands is non-existent.  Her situation constantly titters on a bad to worse scale. It makes you wonder at some point why she just doesn't give up.  But she doesn't.  She soldiers on and halfway through the book I realized I liked her.  She is such a realistic character, while all of her flaws and habits, its really hard not to.  Then the book throws in some shocking twists, as only a good sci-fi book can,and your wondering if what you think is going on is even possible.  Sure enough, it turns out that it is :O) This was different, and takes you into the darker side of an addicts personality.  It really is scary, both what she does to get it, what got her addicted to it, and the guilt that she is trying to bury.I enjoyed this book.  It was nice to come out of my box and try something new.  I wasn't disappointed in the least!!
