Title: Too long for such a frustrating story
Review: I had a difficult time finishing this book. The story could have been told in half as many words. I never came to care for any of the characters, they all seemed flawed and weak to the point that I didn't care what happened to them. The rambling style of the narrative is difficult to follow at times. During the first 100 pages I kept waiting for "something to happen" - but it never did. The end is too neat for such a messy book. I finished the book only as a challenge to myself.
Is the review positive or negative?
