Title: This book has an almost unintelligible plot
Review: Ridley Pearson shoots for the moon here. He tries for a nice literary prose style, a plot that unfolds like a map of Manhattan, and character studies worthy of the greatest actors.However... for the scope of this novel, the huge story it tries to tell, it is in the end a couple hundred pages too short. By this I mean Pearson is too stacato and hurried. Components of the story rush by in a blur and after one development piles ontop of another you will find yourself wondering what the hell just happened. This isn't a state you will find yourself in at the end of the book, you will find yourself here several times. The story jumps around from one line of thought to another and in the end you will feel like your mind has been in a high speed bumper car chase.Not the best Pearson book you will come across.
