Anyone reading this one? I think I'm going to tackle this one next.

Here's a Guardian interview with the author!

Is anyone else trying to read this one? I mean, there's a novel in here somewhere, but he's purposely structured the content in such a difficult way that I'm not even sure it's worth the effort.

It's not even out here yet. Have you got an advance copy?

Where do you call "here" Sarah? Are you in the UK?

The publisher bumped up the digital release in advance of the hard cover because of the Booker nom. The only bad part (and more power to them) is that they've priced it the same as the hard cover so as not to cannibalize sales. I got it from Kobo and was able to use a 45% off coupon code to knock it back down to a more reasonable price.

I just finished it this morning and man it's gonna be a tough one to rank. Review soon!

Here for me is UK, yes! But I saw that it wasn't due across the water until January so I was wondering... not sure we can even get it digitally here. Anyway, this was way down my list of things to read and I'm not really a fan of WS, but I'll be interested to see your review.

I've started this one. It certainly keeps you on your toes.
I had to check a review to make sure I was getting it- and I was on the right track. Phew.
No easy read, but some great imagery.
I'm enjoying it. But its not relaxing...
