All those different stories that somehow intersect and somehow make sense, but never completely. A true slice of life, with all the attendant frustration and mystery.

To be honest it wasn't until about halfway through the book that I started to really love it. Before that it was OK, but I was wondering what all the fuss was about. But your mileage may vary I'm sure.
