The story is good, but frankly, the writing is really unbearable. I agree that the writer had wanted us to follow different stories at once, there is nothing new in that, but dammit, up to us to read a paragraph of one, then a paragraph from another, and always by paragraph, it is so pesky that I ended up together the pieces at my convenience, passing another story when I had the feeling of having read part of a narrative acceptable extent.
