Title: Say what?
Review: I don't consider myself a lightweight when it comes to reading books. I have plowed through many boring books, usually non-fiction tomes.Remember "Giles Goat-Boy," by the English professor, John Barth? That was considered a good book in its day, and I did finish it. I was much younger then.Chabon's book reminded me a bit of Barth's book, with its long, drawn-out arcane descriptions that the respective authors maybe thought would appeal to the reading public.I couldn't finish Chabon's book. I found it boring, confusing, too long, and the book itself (the paperbook) was hard to hold in the hands.I notice that some people found the book really intriguing, so it's probably just a matter of personal taste. But I can say that I personally know of at least one other avid reader who also did not like this book. Diximus.
