I dunno. It's interesting, but with all the raves about Lobsters, I really wanted to admire it; but... it's rough in a way that's hard for me to read. I mean, all the latest gadgets and there are cool ideas studded throughout, but it was just a rough read for me. Felt like too many neat ideas crammed up against a character who isn't eloquent about expressing himself, which is probably what he is. Rough and ready and Right There, or something.
