Title: Overrated and badly structured.
Review: Can't believe all the hype about this book, I pretty much hated it, and yes, I did read it through cover to cover.I was uninvolved with the characters and thought that the plot was weirdly passive and totally uninteresting. Some dramatic scenes were built up to and then flunked - performed offstage, like cheap or dated theatre that is not able to show the action. This is understandable for theatre, but this is a book, FGS, where you can do anything if you have the ability. Clearly Chabon does not.Or is this the point of it? I found the book to be an overwritten non-event - little humor (that worked), little action, nothing edifying.
