The stories make little sense to me, and leave me feeling sad and mildly depressed, so I didn't enjoy them.I’m baffled by the Amazon classification of author Elizabeth Tan’s book as “Humor: Satire”. What's funny about the torment of an aging piano teacher that is triggered by a cellphone call that plays the opening notes of a piano piece the teacher memorized long ago? How is the sudden death of a young woman, who is now remembered only by traces left on Internet message boards, either humorous or satirical?The Amazon classification of the book as “Fantasy: Magical Realism” seems more reasonable. Since I’ve never heard of a “Magical Realism” genre, and have no idea what it is supposed to be, it may explain why I don't understand the stories.The author does seem to have writing talent, though I don't care for her style. It’s choppy and frequently disregards the usual rules of grammar. It has a certain rhythm and flow that you get used to, as you read, but that doesn't make the prose “lyrical” or “beautiful”.Here's a brief example, a paragraph describing a doomed character leaving a gas station mini-mart: “Elena, on the diagonal, outside and away from the white glow of diesel and LPG, the faint croon of the radio playing infinitely for refueling motorists.” Or another example, a sentence that opens a chapter: “Kish, unarticulated today, without bar lines, spine creaking like a hymn book; soft, old Kish, having dreamed last night of being an engulfed cathedral, ascending to consciousness in perfect fourths.”Perhaps there is a story to be found among the disconnected chapters. However, although I like fantasy and science fiction generally, I’m too literal-minded to want to spend time trying to figure out a “novel” like this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars A challenging read *by S***B on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2018* The authors writing style is really hard to follow. She writes in short choppy thoughts and disconnected sentences that don’t, in my opinion, contribute anything to the storyline.Excerpt: “Kish, unarticulated today, without bar lines, spine creaking like a hymn book;soft, old Kish, having dreamed last night of being an engulfed cathedral, ascending to consciousness in perfect fourths. Arched by a yawn.”Now I suppose some would read that and find it lyrical though provoking prose but I read it as disjointed fragments of thoughts and found the style a bit frustrating to read. There may be a really good story here but I couldn’t seem dig deep enough under all the layers of disjointed thoughts to find it. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Good writing & interesting premise that doesn't go anywhere *by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2018* This is a very strange book, and one of the strangest things about it is that despite the fact that I still don't see the point in the story as a whole (if there even is one? I'm still confused on that point), I did actually enjoy reading it. I liked the author's writing style, and I'll admit that I'm a sucker for pop culture references like the ones this novel delivers in droves (especially considering it's fairly short length). Unfortunately, while it was interesting to see how the individual story-chapters were linked to each other, nothing ever really seemed to come of it...or at least nothing *sensical*, anyway. If you're okay with reading something just for the overall feel of it and you aren't looking for a cohesive story, you might enjoy this book, but I was really thrown off, particularly by the ending. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/63936841-rubik](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/63936841-rubik) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
