This review is from: The Easy Chain (Paperback)
This is not your grandpa's favorite book. It is one of mine. Does that help?

It's social without implying a cause. It's personal without giving you much of a glimpse of the main character. It's detached while staying constantly fresh and vital. It's breaking massive narrative rules while giving the impression that there was really no other way.

The book has no chapter breaks. It does sort of have a three part structure but i'm not sure that will matter to the kinds of minds that end up enjoying this book.

I can't really analyze this puppy, but I can say that Dara is a master at this craft. I found myself constantly wanting to read whole paragraphs out-oud. I still don't know what he did to make me care about the events in this story so much, but he did. By the end of the novel I was engrossed in the story. I just don't know why. yet. doesn't matter.

I don't recommend this book to anybody who is turned off by unconventional writing. Anybody else though, have at it!
