Title: The footnotes didn't bother me... but everything else did
Review: I don't know why people here say they hated the footnotes as much as they did. Sometimes the little asides in the footnotes were more interesting than the text itself.To sum up the text: in 782 pages there is a hint of a very interesting story that is never fully realized and is played out by very boring people. I did laugh a few times, or I would have given it only one star.Also, disregard the bookjacket, since it seems to be describing some other book.
Is the review positive or negative?
