Review title: Asks more questions than it answers
Product review: Such a promising beginning, but like a wet skrocket, this book just doesn't leave the ground. I felt the author was torn between interesting philosophical issues (pain and human nature) and telliing a good story and ended up doing neither particularly well. There is more than enough material in many of the chapters of this novel for a whole book. However by the end, I felt that the narrative had been stretched to fit the plot and I was hungering for more insight. By the end I couldn't have cared less about the central character. One would like the author to rewrite this book in 3 volumes. It could have been a classic. I hate to think Amazon would lose revenues when you don't buy this book, so try Perfume by Patrick Susskind instead. A similar idea, but much better executed.
