Title: Very puzzled...
Review: I was extremely bored by this book and had to make serious efforts to finish it. I kept hoping it would start to make sense at some point... but it just didn't. I too raced through the last hundred pages or so, trying to find something worth pausing on -- without luck. Why am I puzzled? Well, what was the message of this book? It made absolutely no sense to me, and I couldn't find any cohesion whatsoever. I could understand the e-mail and chat passages, as well as the Socrates story, but what did one have to do with the other? Or with Bill's illness/problem/poisoning/whatever-that-was? I am still waiting for the "englightment" and the "a-ha" of understanding. Conclusion -- you can read this book if you want to, but don't expect too much. And be prepared to spend a lot of time on it...
