Title: What went wrong here?
Review: I have been a huge fan of Michael Chabon's books up until this one. It took me a while to get into it and then it took a lot to keep me interested. When I got to the part when Joe was in Alaska with that guy who was skinning the dogs and gluing their fur to the plane, I almost put it down without finishing it. But I had to finish it - I had to see where the story would go from there, and then I was sorely disappointed because I felt that the ending was rushed and wrapped up too neatly. If the part about Joe's time in Alaska had been cut out and more attention paid to the ending and the characters, this would have been a much better book.
