This is not what I would call a "fast read."  I was left scratching my head after reading the first couple of chapters in this book, but I really don't like putting down a book once I start.  I stuck with this one, and I was even more confused when I continued reading shortly afterwards.  If nothing else, I had to finish this book just because I could not leave it on an dissonant unresolved chord, and the author does a good job of leaving you hanging on that chord for a long time, varying the tempo of the book from "andante" to "allegro", and covering almost every imaginable social issue from teenage angst to fortune-telling.  By the time I completed the book, the chord was never completely resolved by the author, but most readers will find that they will resolve it in their own minds, although they may not realize it.
