I am a little disappointed. While the writing is excellent, the storyline wasn't nearly as engaging as the previous book of his I read.
While lots of story/plot/history is normally good, this was just too much. For awhile, it almost seemed like a history book, touching lightly on every event from the war to AIDS to present. Maybe the fact that I knew most of this and the history part of it didn't teach me anything?
The main character, Ned...I kinda hated him until the last 3rd of the book. Strongly disliked might be a better term. He did nothing for me.
I do like who Ned turned out to be by the end, better for all his experiences and finally settling down (the flashes of him in the present at the start and end of the book being my favorite parts).
Odd to have a book that the writing flows so seamlessly while it takes over a minute to read one page.
Looking forward to trying another of this author's books (a thinner one this time ;) )
