Helpful Score: 6

I heard about this book on NPR, and that's how I became interested in reading it. However, I was not overly impressed with how Brockmeier handled the premise he was working on. A case of a good idea with only mediocre follow through. What irritated me about the book is that besides the main character, the other key characters were barely developed, leaving the reader mostly unsatisfied. The most tiresome supporting characters seemed to get the most exposure, while the most interesting ones take a back seat.
