This seems interesting, is it entertaining or just confusing?

It's both in all honesty. It's divided into 4 parts parts 1 and 4 are surreal as **** (set in some sort of twisted afterlife) and parts 2 and 3 (in the protagonist's actual life) read like a normal book. It's bizarre but it's stuck with me for decades.

...I’m not generally a reader of horror/fantasy but I did always enjoy Peter Benchley novels...obviously Jaws is the most well known one ...I think that Ben did a thread on the Dark Towers books as well at one time...I know that my son read those and loved them...

...oh I read The Woman in Black as well and that was really scary...
