Interesting! I’m not sure I noticed that, but there was so much to absorb. He’s a maximalist and I don’t always love that.

I had to backtrack and reread a number of parts and sometimes still couldn’t get the answer.

I enjoyed the book and Whittaker’s writing style.
Your summary is excellent. However I think it’s important to mention that Patch is missing an eye, hence his name, and that he took care of his very fragile Mom.

Interesting! I read it on a Kindle and so didn’t notice. I can see what you mean by Disney-like. It’s just as well you didn’t finish it because events became even dramatic towards the end.

If it was conventionally designed w single spaces lines, it would be about 300 pages. I found thd characters “Disney-like” and could not finish it.

Interesting! I don’t listen to much fiction, but everyone I know that does says the narrator can make or break the book.

I did not care for this narrator, either. It can definitely make or brake a book! His voice was very monotone…no intensity, which was needed for the character development. The book was long, and was an “investment” read, but it was good.

I get it. He has a very specific style and it can get to be too much after a while.

. . . Too difficult to follow. . . Did not like the author’s writing style

I think it definitely could be, but Whitaker seems to be a writer who believes more is more.
