Title: Too long and what was the point?
Review: I loved The Corrections. This book, however, had too much unneccesary dialogue and too many accounts of meetings that did not really advance the plot and were often tedious to read. I didn't really understand the motivation for the conspiracy led by Jammu - I didn't see how the illegal actions would have benefited her and have been worth all the effort she and others put in, maybe I missed something. I enjoy conspiracy-theory plots and thrillers, but after a while I just wanted to finish the book so I could figure out why the conspirators were doing all these terrible things. The idea behind it was interesting, but when I got to the end I felt like I had missed the entire point of the book and was disappointed. It also seemed a bit racist to me as well, considering that most of the evil corrupt characters in the book were Indian.
