    I recently began reading Colum McCann’s book. It is moving and compelling; many times I feel I am about to get emotional (which is good!). Overall I am interested in the subject-matter, and the writing style is almost poetic.

    The one thing which bothers me is the numbering of each paragraph, which serves, I think, as a form of jittering the author’s line of thought. This fragmentation prevents me reading in long stretches.

    **Does one get used to it?** People who enjoyed this novel: did you find yourself reading it for 60-90min per seating?
