Title: Like Wading Through A Swimming Pool of Paste
Review: This novel LOOKS good. The cover, paper, font, history are all there! However, trying to read this jumbled collection of intentionally clippy sentences, torrential downpours of pop references and flat characters that never seem to go anywhere but laterally is quite difficult, indeed.This book is good for you if you don't like action, development, flow, and coherency. However, if you're into taking an 8 paragraph synopsis in the back of the book and stretching it out by hundreds of pages, then this is the book for you.I had to force myself to read it and couldn't make it past the halfway point. MacDonald seems like like the wall of words approach and it can work, sometimes, but this book is just too much to chew on; literary paste to swim through to an unclear and wholly unsatisfying end* in light of the effort it takes to get to it.*I skipped to the last section.
