  "One building, many stories as Vishnu lays dying." by [email protected] (see profile) 08/01/07

Each character in the novel has a different story and each is developed to different levels. Some stories more interesting than others.

I was perplexed throughout the book. I wasn't sure what was going on in some parts but it turns out it is what it is. No deeper meaning. Just a guy dying on the landing while life goes on around him. I did enjoy the boo. I was just perplexed.
