If this book consisted only of the first half, I would give it five stars. I enjoyed the first half immensely, and was riveted by the protagonist's dialogue and drawings. Then something happened....
About the middle, when T.S. goes through the "Wormhole" from Nebraska to Chicago, the author goes off track. While I enjoyed the story line about his female ancestor, I couldn't understand the "murder attempt" in Chicago, the secret society, the lies told by the Smithsonian and other inane plot lines. I felt the author lost track of where he and T.S. was going and just winged it to add more pages to the novel.
