From: book reviews Category: Art Date: 26 July 2008 Time: 03:24 AM Review: This was reasonably well reviewed in the New Yorker, and I was moderately pleased when a copy came into my possession. However I can say it is one of the most sleep-causing books I have ever read, and I was forced to finish it in daylight. It is a book that gets worse and worse, with lots of short chapters of silly dialogue and sub sci-fi action. Perhaps it is witty meditation on love and identity, but it reads like something went wrong with the copy and paste.
