as the main charachter kept saying "ok". I read longer than I should have waiting for something (anything) to happen. Not a bad book just didn't keep my interest.

I'm glad I didn't know that the author had a real life affair with Philip Roth before I read the book. I think that might have hurt my enjoyment of it. Anyway, I gather from some of the reviews that people are annoyed that the structure of the book isn't obvious and that the writer might have been too clever. Nah. Don't listen to that noise. Well-written, well conceived, asking interesting questions. It's good.

I'm not really sure what the point of this was. Part 1, "Folly", was annoying. None of the characters are likeable or have much depth. Part 2, "Madness", was much better written and more interesting, but the tie-in to "Folly" (revealed in Part 3, "Ezra Blazer's Desert Island Discs") is trivial.

As much as I wanted to read the second part, I didn’t care enough about the first part to put in the effort to get there.
