Review title: Amateurish and disjointed
Product review: The tightest writing is the two-word title, which got me to buy the book. From there it's downhill. Egan's incredibly sloppy prose nearly insults the reader. The story-within-a-story-within-a story feels like a cop-out. It's not quite "and then he woke up" -- but almost. Despite the intricate plot mechanications, nothing much happens. That's partly because her main characters are drugged or being operated on so much of the time. Such cheesey devices echo the worst of episodic television. How this book got an agent and got published is anybody's guess.
