Reading it now. Good book. Can't say, though, that I'm very taken with the synaesthesia. (Doesn't that term imply sense transference? Not quite what's going on here.) Still the book moves well and the protagonist is attractive.
I was initially put off by the concept as well (high concept appeals to me less than other things) but one reason I liked the book so much was that he both used the concept and got past it...hope you felt the same by the end...
