The characters, I'll admit, are interesting. But their motivation is completely unexplained and some of what they do makes no sense. I really dislike the writer's style; the periodic insertion of sections akin to free verse poetry didn't seem natural, but rather, contrived to show how "singular" or erudite the author is. The plot was plodding at some points, and highly implausable at others. Overall this struck me as a book just trying too hard to be artistic.
