Title: Couldn't plow through it even if I had to.
Product review: This is the only book our book group has chosen that I just couldn't even finish. We still laugh at the quotes on the cover and how unbelievable that they could be referring to this story. Maybe if I had finished the whole book, the tangle of characters and plots would have reached some point of clarity but at well over 100 pages into it, Smiley was still adding new people with very uninteresting story lines into what was already a puzzle of characters. I kept flipping to those quotes on the back of the book and the mystery amplified...Did they read this book? Is it a joke like the Emperor's New Clothes? "Fast-paced, Humorous, Engaging" ... I must have read something else!
