Title: A disappointment
Review: I bought this book solely off the enjoyment I had in reading Chabon's "Wonder Boys". When it arrived, I quickly dove into it, and for the first half of the book, was engrossed (I am somewhat of a comic book fan, and the subject matter was extremely interesting and well presented). Then enter the predictable and trite parts of the book. As soon as the "Ark of Miriam" was sunk, this book went down with it. It became a labor to finish, and when I was finished, I felt like I had been cheated off of a promise. The book just ended. I was left wondering whether or not a chapter was left off of the book accidently. After reading "Wonder Boys", I was thoroughly disappointed with this book and I am left wondering whether it is worth going back to read some of Chabon's earlier work. I think not!
