Review title: Devoid of humor, mired in minutia
Product review: I found the book hopelessly grim, awash in meaningless trivia and description. It read like a technical manual distributed during a funeral ceremony.The "mystery" was dull -- I could have cared less what happened to any of the characters -- and the Japanese internment was a canard thrown in to add poignancy where none existed.A joyless, plodding book. Pass me an aspirin.
