This is a good book, but I did not particularly enjoy reading it. Why not? Because I like to immerse myself in a book, and I simply cannot do that when it bounces back and forth between different first person narrators every couple of pages. If that doesn't bother you, you'll likely enjoy the book. For me, every switch is like starting over and I never get the chance to sink into the book. (I find the problem much worse with first person narration than with third person narration.) The narrators themselves are perfectly interesting characters, and I would have enjoyed getting to know any and all of them better in a different format. The plot is well-constructed, and the pacing is good.
