I didn't like this book- too abstract, too all over the place, and way too ambitious without any follow through. Was the protagonist crazy, or was he merely a victim of his dark horse doppelganger? I don't know. Was there a point to following the characters until the middle of their lives? I don't know. Again, I want a resolution - an unfinished story, while making the reader think about possible endings and is very abstract and all - leaves me in the lurch. Perhaps I would be more amenable to an unfinished ending if I cared about the plot but sadly, I didn't. There was nothing exceptionally original about the story and the 'villain' was more annoying than he was evil. Don't bother- there are many more books with better abstract ambitions!
