Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin
3.0

This book takes you through phases. Curious at first, then loving the middle with it's Wes Anderson-like quirkiness. Then the ending, with the fanciful becoming preposterous and no explanation or alternative world logic to explain what's going on. I'd say read and enjoy it, but put it down with about 50 pages left and write your own ending. Can't imagine how they made a film of this bit I've heard it's terrible.
