I feel like the author was struggling himself -- and so he just flipped a coin to decide whether it would be happy or sad. A complex, spiraling plot suddenly plops in "and then they lived happily ever after." Gratifying, and not. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/30900?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
