Packing lightly, this is the book I chose to take with me on a 1-week Mexican vacation. I began reading the night before departure, found it compelling, and it proved a good choice. The final 1/3 of the book I found a bit less compelling than the parts that precede it but it continued to hold my interest as I climbed into bed each evening. Trying to describe the story to my spouse, I hesitated to use the words "mental illness" to describe the main character. It is clear though, some sort of mental illness grips him and determines his fate. The read was satisfying even if it telegraphs, long before the ending, exactly where all of this is headed.
