After reading <I>Motherless Brooklyn</I> (one of my all-time favorites) and <I>Gun</I>, I was expecting much more than this one delivered. I listened to it in the car, so I don't really feel like I lost a lot of prime reading time. Oddly enough, though, this one might make a pretty good (but still lightweight) film.Andy Wolvertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04438784281825774486noreply@blogger.com
