I finshed reading this book yesterday and I really didnt like the writing style! The story was okay but it was just not enjoyable. Even though it's a relatively short book it took me ages to read as I couldn't read much without getting a headache. Maybe it was just me but I just couldn't get used to the writing style :(

Because of your comment, I didn't go right out and buy it but opted to get a copy from the library. I've been in to audiobooks something fierce lately and now I'm a bit hesitant to use on of my Audible credits on this as I can't get the digital audiobook anywhere else. Maybe I'll just save this for last in April/May and if I don't get to it then I've not lost out on money or a credit. We shall see.
What specifically about the writing style didn't you like? Was it stream of consciousness, move around in time and place a lot, etc.? Just curious.

Hmm it's a difficult one :/
It was very choppy and seemed to change a lot so it really impeded the flow of the story.
