A lot has been written and said about this book and it came very highly recommended to me from several different people whose taste I like and respect very much. I thought this book was great, but it wasn't the show-stopper, can't put down read that I was expecting. I liked it, but I didn't love it--not even a little.I thought that the sections of the book from Leo Gursky's perspective were quite good. But it was a let down for me whenever it switched to someone else's point of view. I was never interested enough in the plot to be worried about how the tangle of characters would eventually unravel itself into something that made sense. I read to the end, but I wasn't really that interested in solving the puzzle behind this book.
All in all, a great book, but sometimes things just don't live up after so much hype for me. meh.
