It's a fascinating and adventurous story, but has so many tangents that it gets confusing. Much of my enjoyment came from Gopnik's references to Racine and Moliere and from already having a soft spot for Gopnik's prose. His target audience might not enjoy the allusions as much. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/996628?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
