Thanks very much for the review. I'm not wary of long books and at the point when I picked it up last, I believe that I wasn't fully treated for my depression so being in that heavy everything feels too hard state coupled with pretty much zero motivation to get anything done (including even checking a book out at the book store to see if I'd like it) must have skewed my opinion and for whatever reason stuck with me afterwards.

Sounds like the book is my style completely. I love books that are organized a bit different from the standard and I love so much getting to know a main character of a book that moving that up to two characters sounds absolutely awesome!

In other words, putting it on my Amazon wish list (which I print out every other weekend to take to the used book store) and going to read it for my read 50 books challenge in 2009 (I already have the rest of my 2008 schedule planned out).
