Feels blasphemous rating Morrison this low but. While I find the concept of the jazz-like, improvised-feeling narration and perspective shifts to be awesome, the book lost me at several points - I always came back because the narrative would shift again, but still, I just couldn't help but be confused for large chunks of the book. The prose was still beautiful and the characters still vivid but like I just wasn't following!
