Review title: Disappointing
Product review: I picked this up after reading Michael Ondaatdje's Divisadero. What a shocking contrast of writing styles; one elegant and spare and this, prolix and unfocused.The plot concept has good potential but the characters and the development of the story needs a lot more work and editing. Others have gone over the weaknesses. I cannot recommend this.(Editors, where are you these days??)
