The first part of the novel is also a short story. I think Charles wrote it when he was in one of his experimental moods. The pacing is intended to convey the speed at which the main character receives new info; you are supposed to be overwhelmed. I was; it's an interesting experience.

Thanks for the advice. I'm in chapter 6 now so skipping 1 and 2 won't help anymore though

It certainly is an interesting experience, but the Cheshire Cat keeps me thinking I'm reading Alice in Wonderland
