He's at his best when he's skirting the edge of drunkenly rambling about his life, but during this period, perhaps (in fact, almost assuredly) because he was so affected by Jane's death, the edge is not so much skirted as it is toppled from. <br/><br/>So, whi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37789461">more...</a>]]></body>
