A pretty good read that I enjoyed at the time but nothing that will transform my life in any way.
Basic plot: organized, neat-freak, well-off man (think Niles in "Frasier") gets beaten down by brute and decides to reinvent his own life by "disappearing", and live in the poorer areas and work in a brothel as a sort of caretaker.
I have read much better books on the topic, and while the book was well written I have to say I probably won't remember it after the summer.
Considering that he has written some of my favorite dystopic books ever, I was seriously disappointed.
