Not nearly as wonderful as Children's Hospital, but still quite good. For awhile I thought this was going to be a five star book, but the bottom sort of dropped out of it towards the end, but not in too major of a way. This book really needs to have a new blurb written on it, and maybe the cover changed (especially on the paperback), since making this book seem like a Civil War novel is like saying that Gravity's Rainbow is about World War 2. Actually the Pynchon book is so much more about a war than this, and really is GR really about the war? Anyway, this isn't a war novel, even if the cover makes it look like it could be on the bookshelf comfortably next to something by Jeffery Shaaaaaara, or Newt Gingrich.
