Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin
2.0

What a disappointment! For the first couple of hundred pages, it's a captivating fabulist story...and then it gets overblown and silly,a kitchen-sink mishmash that destroyed my interest in the fate of the original characters and what I thought was the actual storyline. An extra star for how beautiful the writing is in places. But I was glad to be done with it.
