What gets me through reading Personal Effects is not only the mystery aspect, but the narrator's voice. He is very relateble and has a voice that makes the craziness and morbidity of the book more tolerable. His perspective on things is close to what I think my perspective would be if I was in his situation. I think it's rare to find a narrator that I agree with and that I don't find annoying. This makes the book much more enjoyable. What I don't personally like
