The format doesn't give me any trouble. I habitually read several books
at once, usually reading 10-20 pages of each in alternation in my hour
or two of nightly reading time. The only (long) things I read straight
through are the daily newspaper, and technical papers. When I travel
for an overnight trip, I take three books with me. :-)
As to the story, I'm enjoying it. The one complaint I have is the
schizophrenia. Multiple personalities seems like a cheap trick for an
author to pull. Gives you too many options. But you haven't overplayed it.
