Don’t over-expect or get into a lot of heavy thinking. The book is light, fun, strange and metaphysical - “everything is connected.”

It seems like Ozeki tries to cover everything probably because everything is connected. It gets weird - I didn’t like the teen sex or the military parts but the grandma parts were superb and the military parts fit. Go ahead - get all the way through though.

It didn't captivate me. At times I left it for it's tedium, despite the tedium of sitting and waiting and dreading the call of duty. Other tediums beckoned. Now, free from that duty, I don't think I will return to it. So, who amongst you blurbed me into buying this book?
