This book is a parody of an Irving novel. Constantly shifting time, place, and names makes it very confusing. Major plot events are improbable, and book is nothing but a concatenation of unrelated and random scenes. Simply terrible -- hard to believe this is the same guy that wrote Owen Meany.

Redundant...Hard to follow due to the author jumping from one series of events to an other. I have found it absolutely boring.

This book was fantastic! However, I would never recommend it for my book club. It wasnt an easy flowy romantic mind candy kind of book. You need to enjoy reading something little more deeper to appreciate this book.

A bit difficult to follow in the beginning. However, once understood, the flashback technique added to the development of the characters. Good story, beautiful descriptive language.
