For those who enjoy writing that stills the senses
OK. You'll read through all of these reviews and conclude that this is a so-so book. Could be true. If I were lucky enough to run into someone who reads enough to pick up this book, I'd be prone to follow the conversation any way it went just to be in the conversation. I do, however, want to say that while maybe the facts don't check out and by the end, you do want to sit in a library for a day and see what state diabetes research is in, if you allow yourself to just get lost in the color of the language, it is an entrancing book. The internal dialog was very natural for my attention span, and the different parts succeeded in bringing me deeper and deeper into this character's specific existential crisis. I read it in one sitting and thought it was better than the average movie.
