Title: Hit and Miss
Review: I fell for the tantalizing literati buzz on this book hook, line and sinker. While the author is certainly talented in his ability to craft prose that engage your tongue and mind at times, I felt the story lacked depth. I did not "connect" with the plotline - in fact, I nearly gave up mid-stream. The number of run-on sentences employed in the first section seemed cloying. An English teacher would have slashed and burned an 8th grade essay with the same content.I wasn't committed until about 75% of the way through and I did feel the story picked-up at that point. It became more engaging as the writing was much more crisp and compact. However, by the time the pace picked-up, I felt the remainder was merely hurtling toward a quick conclusion.So far, other readers I know (ranging in age from 16 - 60)share my sense of disatisfaction; can't wait for my book club discussion at the end of the month.Bottom-line: fulfilled my book club obligation; would have spent my $$$ on something else
