The problem is, it's hard to find the plot for all the words. Like the long, long family car trip from Chicago to Mexico in the book's opening, the novel develops so slowly its progress is almost imperceptible, across a never-ending landscape you've been navigating for hours. <br/> <br/> <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/807826?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
