Review title: Weak in some areas, strong in others.
Product review: As a winner of the Pen/Faulkner Award, I expected more. The book's most entertaining aspect was the snow storm. The author did a good job making me see and feel it. Ishmael's mother's kitchen seemed especially cozy in the storm.On the negative side, I wasn't riveted by the plot. There was enough interest to keep me occasionally picking up this book until I finally finished it after several months, but I could never get excited or passionate over what was happening. The author didn't fill the characters with pulsing red blood, not for me anyway.The book was also too wordy in places, especially in the first half.
