Title: Overblown and overwritten with a totally unbelievable ending
Product review: I should have given up when I found this book absolutely just too heavy to hold, uncomfortable to read in any position. I kept waiting for it to get better but it only got worse. Pages could be skipped with nothing lost. I agree with all who said the ending was a monumental disappointment; it was as if Wolfe couldn't think of what to do with the story he spent ten years creating. I finished it last night and have already forgotten what happened to the main character! And the pompous dedications at the beginning .... please! Next time Wolfe should find a good copy editor. Or maybe just stick to the lecture circuit. P.S. All that excessive translation of the "lingo"--yet we never know just how "Croker" is pronounced!
