Title: Loved it... but a little Forrest Gumpish, too...
Review: I was swept along. It was a true page turner. The character development was exquisite -- really very, very good. It's practically a paean to NYC, and reading it after you-know-what turned my beloved hometown topsy turvy with horror and sorrow helped.But! There is a bit of Forrest Gump syndrome with many brushes with famous figures that I'm torn about -- half the time I wanted to hoot and just go with it, the other times I snorted cynically and rolled my eyes.Also, read the book -- the movie will be a huge, maudlin schmaltzfest involving Tom Hanks or something...
