This book is a headache to read. There is (I think) a really interesting concept in there somewhere but finding it is like digging through a scrap pile of half-finished sentences and run-on paragraphs. I probably missed important plot points because I skipped chunks of text just out of annoyance. And then 380 pages later it ends with a wet flop. Clearly some people like this style of writing but I did not.
robbo_c's review against another edition
An interesting story but terribly marred by lazy, postmodern prose. The longer it went on, the less engaged I became, until my frustration with the writing overcame my need to see how the tale played out.

I didn't finish this book. I thoroughly enjoyed a short story by this author and was very disappointed that reading this novel turned into such chore. Anyone who has ever worked for a large organization will recognize the accuracy of the project meeting scenes in this novel. In the end, to my dismay, there were too many meetings and discussions and a decided lack of plot and action.
