This took so long for me to read. I kept thinking that the amount of characters was confusing, and that was part of it, but a bigger part of it was that I was rarely emotionally attached to any character due to the writing style and the abrupt changes in perspective. I know it's supposed to be "avant garde" but it made it a slog to get through.
I will definitely give John dos Passos another chance. There's a lot of really good, interesting stuff here.
