I thought I'd laugh through the 300+ pages. What I experienced was an occasional guffaw every 100 pages or so.

Ok, the book does move fast. If you can keep track of the gazillion characters (well, maybe 20) and their motivations, you can have fun with the book. Don't expect deep, thought-provoking, multi-layered characters. What you get is a screwball race running on high octane that doesn't slow down until the last page.
