Title: Disappointed
Review: I very much wanted to love this book. The premise was intriguing and the first line, "We are each the love of someone's life", roped me in immediately. Unfortunately, I felt like I had to constantly convince myself to keep reading, that the eventual payoff would be worth the effort. Sadly for me, it wasn't. I found the story slow in unfolding (too much time in the early part of the book repetitively setting things up regarding Max's "condition") and the characters difficult to embrace. There were some redeeming moments - the descriptions of turn of the century San Francisco, the return throughout to the theme defined in that terrific opening sentence, but overall I expected more and have found myself unable to enthusiastically recommend this book over others I have recently finished reading (such as "The Shadow of the Wind" and "The Kite Runner" to name two).
