The form of this novel---a footnote-heavy deep dive into one young man's trip up an escalator at the end of his lunch break---could have been clunky, but I actually found it fairly smooth reading. Maybe the narrator has an anxiety disorder or is just very particular, but either way I enjoyed the way his personality is revealed bit by bit through his interior monologue. I love his rant about people who stand still on escalators.
