Review of 'Hey Nostradamus!' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

This story is told from four narrators sequentially. The first is decent, the second so-so; the latter two didn't work for me. This is the first Coupland novel in a while for me - it is interesting that the plots of the others are less than fully memorable. I do not feel compelled to go re-read them soon.
