"But a sense that there might also exist some entirely different destination, one that he couldn’t yet see but which lay just beyond the obscuring undergrowth of long habit and expectations, troubled him and kept him from moving forward.  He had no idea how to hack through the foliage, nor whether whatever he uncovered would please him, but neither did he want to follow blindly the manicured course on which his feet were already set."

All the characters were slightly crazy, but with good reason.  I loved the narration, switching between past and present, from the perspective of different characters.  I loved the story, and how it played out.  Giving just enough of the past to keep you interested in the present.

I thought it was great.
