The writing in this book varies from Fantastic to Okay.Take a look at the first five pages of this, a description of a town, leading up to an announcement of its impending death. This is good writing here, reminding me of John Updike.  It's stayed with me, one of the best openers I've seen.A series of vignettes follows, some better than others, each ending in a time.  This is a countdown.I liked this book, but I do wish the writing had been as consistently high as in the first few chapters.Recommended.
