Really not what I was expecting. Poetic and clever language, but crying out for a narrative I could follow. In the words of Little Britain... "Bitty". Shockingly disappointing.

The only problem I had was that my whole life was a lesson in the effect of echoes, that I was living in the third person. This would have been hard to explain.
