This was a fairly disappointing book. It starts off with an interesting, likable protagonist, but the author quickly deviates to writing about characters I had no interest in. Many parts of the book are so dull that I had to force myself to keep reading, assuring my mind that the next section would be more interesting. The parts about the teenage girl and her nutcase uncle were especially boring to me and at some points they were hardly beyond YA-level. I'll give Egan credit for tying everything together quite well, and I liked the humorous final chapter, but the journey to get there was just way too long and clunky.
