I tried to read this twice. The first time, I mired in a very long description of landscape toward the end of Chapter Two. The landscape being described was sort of nice, I guess, but I did not feel it merited that many words. I would have been happier if he had said "there was a river there", and then moved on to the plot.

I came back to this book much later, shortly after discovering Kindle-For-Android. I made it through the description of how the protagonist was a broke ex-druggie who had been fired from his job as a liberal arts professor, and then there was some description of history books, and at that point I stopped reading, I think, for good.

I'm not specifically of the belief that a novel must have space aliens and KGB agents to hold my attention. But at the least, y'know... witty dialog? Something more than landscape.
