Toloki/Cion

I enjoyed reading Cion, but I had a hard time buying into the reality of the story. Toloki seemed like a somewhat educated man and I had a hard time embracing his attraction for Oprah, and woman suspended between childhood and adulthood . The entire book lacked credibility, especially the relationship between Obed and Beth Eddy. I can't imagine two people (Beth or Toloki) being attracted to people like Orpah and Obed. I can't see a total stranger bailing someone out of jail soon after you've met them. I guess because I see Toloki as a somewhat "reliable" narrator, I can't believe the decisions that he makes. I'm having a difficult time suspending my disbelief. Interestingly, though, I did enjoy the book. I liked Toloki's voice and his sarcastic wit.
