My overall impression: "meh."
I bought it because I liked the Adventures of Kavalier and Clay and I liked the blue and orange cover.
The plot wasn't anything special, and I could not connect with any of the characters. They just did not real like real people. All of the men in the book were super frustrating, bad people, who did not care for their children and made horrible decisions.
Also, for some strange reason, the book was set in 2004, and kept making 2004 pop culture references in a cutesy way that really got on my nerves ("send him a text message thingy" "what is that?").
