First impression: fragmented. Heavily. Skipping back and forth from one paragraph to another between many characters with three names each is one thing, but making inexplicable jumps in time and space from one sentence to another is kind of giving me a headache. Still, the characters are interesting so far, and the bizarre jump works surprisingly well in at least one case so far.
I should probably save this for the book club, though, shouldn't I.
