This book was a struggle to get through. It is full of action - indeed the first 50 pages of 480 have as much action as any novel but after a while it becomes relentless. Everything has a bizarre quality - it reminded me of a David Lynch film - so many characters - so many zany personalities. Utimately, it is a story of redemption and as such deserves sticking with. But it gave me a headache and it should have been shorter. PW
