Title: A Painful read...
Review: The first half of this book plods along, painfully. It jumps from thought to thought more than an ADD-stricken teenager. The language is disjointed and tough to follow. In my opinion, the only steam generated came in the last third. And though I'm an avid reader, it was almost the second book I couldn't finish. (The unabridged version of King's "The Stand" holds that honor)
