Bizarre. And so far, I can't quite tell if it's an enjoyable bizarre or not.

If reading could feel like nails on a chalkboard, this would be it. Is it normal to want to strangle the main character for her stupidity?!

The premise is incredibly interesting, as is the setting, but it feels as if something's gotten lost along the way. The characters seem to melt together in an indefinable mess.

Quirky, but very enjoyable.

So far finding the book bizarre. Only having one side of the dialogue is frustrating, and thus far not finding the characters particularly likable. But the premise is interesting, and so I persist.

Impressions so far: somewhat two dimensional characters, and a feeling of predictability and impending sickly sweetness. I am enjoying the bits about food though - the descriptions jump off the page.

So far not finding this as interesting as Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour book store, but wanting to.

This book is painful to get through so far... the characters are very two dimensional, and the constant use of character names instead of pronouns is irritating. Hoping this gets better soon.
