I honestly really enjoyed the first quarter or so of this. Unfortunately the prose (which is charming at first) stops enhancing the novel at a certain point and instead becomes a hurdle for your eyes as you encounter the 20th random metaphor on the page
The novel gets worse and worse as the plot takes off. He went way too high stakes. The plot feels a little convoluted and it can be rather hard to follow. The ending of the novel is also rather abrupt with a few character moments that felt like Chabon was checking off boxes instead of letting characters dictate what happens
