Title: A disappointing read. . .
Product review: After having read positive reviews of this novel, I was disappointed in its rambling collection of random incidents and odd characters. Nothing really hangs together or jells into a cohesive story, and its inconsistencies and dropped threads make for a confusing and unfulfilling read. The ending is far too tidy, and appears to be an effort to wrap it all up, but is hopelessly unsuccessful. Overall, the writing is harsh and the plot weak.
