Stonemouth by Iain Banks (read 6/3/19 to 6/9/19)

So this book is full of a lot of ambiguity regarding whatever the event was.  I felt like we didn’t move far.  I want to know what is going on though.  I don't care for time jumps and this book was particularly jarring for me.  I don’t like the flipping between past and present in the same chapter.  It’s confusing to follow.  We would flip in the same chapter an I wouldn't realized ht time period had changed at first.
It’s slow and most of the action is in memories of the past.  I was expecting more.  It felt like it took forever to get the story really moving.  
Overall this was an ok book, I had hoped it would be a little more fast paced.
