Helpful Score: 1

I couldn't finish it. It was written in a sort of affected literary style (dashes instead of quotation marks, that sort of thing) which I found really annoying. My impression is that the author wishes to hearken back to the heady days of earlier 20th century fiction, the era of Fitzgerald, Wolfe, et al., I did not feel the life and energy of those two authors in this novel. I have heard his next book, A Gentleman in Moscow, is better. I hope so.
