This book is bizarre....? The main plot drifts away to a footnote (Sam) There are too many twists that don't have any supporting information. The main character is inept and not believable. Too many references to character's actions/thoughts/feelings that are not required (especially inner monologues). All in all, a pretentious, touchy/feely book that feels like wading through treacle to read, without a plot reward. I was reminded of Willam Dafoes narration to his movie in "Mr Bean's Holiday" ... bland and sleep inducing. A very dissapointing read ... but I should have known by "who" was recommending this book ( and the low price).
