Summary: An outstanding book.
Comment: Noah Hawley immediately became my favorite author after reading this book. A terrific story, but lots of books have terrific stories, what ties this book together so well is Hawley's original writing style. Like a drug pusher, he lets you know just enough of the conspiracy to keep you reading further.

Rating: 1
Summary: atrocious
Comment: The poor writing in this book is only "bested" by the poor plot development. I kept waiting for wit and originality, but was left (time and time again) with sophmoric prose and predictable cliche.

Rating: 3
Summary: I can only hope not...
Comment: Don't get me wrong, I definitely did not dislike this book. Fabulous first try. I love the writing style. The bits of information seemingly thrown in about each character (major or extremely minor) could have been tiresome, but worked for me beautifully in keeping me interested. Did you really need to know about Jack Evers' uneasy relationship with his adopted son? These are facts about a character who appears in about three pages of the novel! But it worked for me because you got a sense of a three dimensional person by a few lines of biographical history instead of twelve pages of unnecessary, dodgey dialogue or actions by this minor character. It gave me a sense of reality within context.
The plot, however, seemed not to be as strong. It lost a sense of credibility toward the middle and a developed a few flaws toward the end. The end itself I shook my head at, but then again, how do you put an ending to such an intentionally outrageous story and still have the faith of your audience? If Hawley tones it down a bit for us skeptics out there, he may actually convince some of us that at any time Teddy O. Waren may be seated next to us on a plane.
