Title: Outline for the TV show
Review: Reads more like a rough outline for the tv show it's destined to be than novel. One can imagine this "concept" being pitched at a studio. Once the idea was sold, a novelization is patched together for "prestige", and the publicity boys start cranking up the buzz (cooked-up controversy is good). I think the boat was missed here because the no-talent hack hired to manufacture this literary mess wrote an overblown, long, boring tome that lacks imagination and excitement. Wait for the tv show- it will be free and you can do ironing while it's on. Much more intellectual stimulation and less of a waste of time.
