Title: The Final Solution? - The Final Straw
Review: This is the first book that I have read by Michael Chabon and based upon my assessment of this book will not buy another. Although technically a fine writer, the plot of the book is threadbare, many of the characters shallow and the flow of the narrative spasmodic. The chief difficulty I have wih this novel is the palpable presence of the author on virtually every page, leaving me with the impression that the theme of the book was not to tell a story but rather to provide evidence of the author's ambition and literary prowess. Conan Doyle must have rolled over in his grave upon publication of this literary brick!
