Narrarator is OK. Book is not well written. It's very possible to jump back and forth in time like a Tarantino film, but this book feels like all of the ideas and rough drafts were thrown on the floor, picked up how they lay and published. There certainly must be better ways to describe ones loss of self or soul than directly comparing the alien comandeering of a human body to a movie starring Johnny Depp, but I guess that would be more work than it's worth. Who needs prose anyway?There's a lot of talk about his or her uncle or brother or mother, but really no connection to any of whom might or might not be pivotal to the story. Layout roughly as follows;Prologue Part 1Part 2 - chapter 1Chapter 2 - writer's thoughts Part 3Chapter 1chapter 2 - writers thoughts. This doesn't make for some cunning or groundbreaking writing, but is messy and unpleasant. Another VIP credit in the bin. DNF

Once I got my head around the timeframe I found I had to keep listening.

I really liked the narration for the most part, however, it doesn't seem to me like the narrator has ever been near a hispanic person, leave alone an Argentine. Two fairly important characters are Argentinean and every time they speak it sounds like what the American parody of what a 90's Mexican soap opera dialogue would sound like. it's honestly ridiculous.

An different way to tell a story - I liked it - the author did pull everything together and there were some unexpected reveals - a good perspective on how a tragic event can have ripple effects through generations as well as those immediately touched by the tragedy

Apparently divergent plot lines converge in this well-narrated compelling murder mystery.

Interesting. A little overly self-aware. Some bizarre decisions. I stayed interested until the end.
