I couldn't put it down. It felt like every chapter ended with a cliff-hanger because you had to wait a chapter to get back to that story line. Becca - I haven't read "We Need To Talk About Kevin," but I've now added it to my TBR list. Thanks for the recommendation. Adventures in Reading - I hadn't really thought structure and narrative as separate elements, but it makes sense that you could experiment with one and not the other.

Pretty much any time an author breaks away from more traditional literary techniques tends to be fairly unusual. I concur about the different structure bit and I’d also add in different narrative.

Have you read We Need to Talk About Kevin? Difficult subject, but very well written, and also in an "alternative" structure (letters interspersed with narrative).

And I'm reading <i>The Post-Birthday World</i> right now - it's definitely an interesting presentation. I defined “unusual” in a similar way in my BTT response.
