I'm not quite sure why this one took me so long to finish, but I really struggled with the first 2/3. I thought the end brought it all back for me, for the most part. There was something so unsettling about the whole story (and I'm not really pleased the Gabe section of the story was left unresolved, but I guess that's the way life goes), and the bad guy was just a little TOO BAD for my taste. That was also wrapped up a little too neatly. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I think I enjoy it more thinking about it than I did reading it. If that makes sense.
