I enjoyed his previous book, Drood, and was excited to get this one. I was so bored! I broke my cardinal rule and requested the unabridged version, and found it to be needlessly wordy. I did not like the pace of the book either. It would go back and forth between time periods when it would have been much better if presented in "real-time" I actually misplaced the last 3 discs and didn't bother to look for them as I really didn't care what happened and because of the time jumps, i already knew the character would get through this particular peril, unscathed.
Interesting tale about Native Americans, Custer, and the Mount Rushmore carvings. Some rated R passages.
