Since I had a difficult time getting into this book I thought I'd read other people's thoughts... they called it "non-lateral" fiction. I guess that's a good description for me too. I tried a few times to get into the book, but it's hard reading, lots of nitty gritty detail, hard to keep a story line in my head. I gave up reading it!
