Initial Thoughts on Mumbo Jumbo

I'm not a huge fan of this book. It's so disorienting and completely foreign to me. And it's not that I don't enjoy the concept, it's just that I don't recognize much in this novel, whether it's the setting, characters, plot details, pretty much anything, actually. In terms of plot, I find it really hard to keep track of what is going on, especially because there are so many details buried within other seemingly random bits of information (and pictures, puzzles, etc.). I certainly think there are lots of interesting parts to the book but it requires a lot of work to figure out what's going on. More on this when I'm more clued in....
