At first, I thought this might be an unusual take on time-travel, in which the consciousness is not bound in a linear fashion, but, by the end, I feel like maybe this is more about time-tampering by an ascended species...or I don't have clue about anything in this book.
Whatever Scribner is trying to get at, he could have gotten there with half the pages. The story is very disjointed, as if a schizophrenic wrote Jacob's POV. In fact, I don't even know if I can trust anything about Jacob's perception of events. For all I know, he could have been dying on the roof of his car, with his brain splattered across the back windshield, while his mind created everything as a justification for his suicide.
If anyone else attempts reading this novel, please share your thoughts with me.
As always,
