Title: Wish I had waited on the library copy
Product review: I suppose I'm not the most intellectual but am an avid reader and enjoy a variety of fiction and non-fiction. For the life of me I can't understand the rave reviews this book has received. I found it slow (plodding would be too kind), and absolutely lacking in depth. The numerous tedious episodes where the main character lets his mind wander, probing his spiritual self, what it all means deal, were particularly annoying. I wasn't expecting nor requiring a shoot em up, skim lightly over the top of the dark subject matter kind of story, but the point is I didn't find that it had ANY story. I was left shaking my head and wondering "is this it???". Completely unsatisfying for me at least.
