Hello All,

I have to agree with Cynique on this one. I didn't want to do this, but I am forced to be me...I hated this book! I wasn't moved! The book has no purpose or plot to speak of. I don't play hide-n-seek or peek-a-boo with a plot, that's what I did with this book. Obviously, the book won because I have yet to find a plot. When I want to play games, I reach for the XBox 360.

That is too bad. Perhaps it explains why the book was not published in the good 'ole US of A...

Well, Thumper, we have to give the author a "E" for effort. It's just that the narrative was one long monologue that was of no great interest to anyone but the onlooker who was telling the story.
