God help me, I am old enough to identify with the characters in this book

a good start — the “When Nan…” books sound like they already exist!

how is this 280 pages

The kind of book that should be read *only* for plot

Prologue’s so great I worry the rest of the book can’t deliver on it

Ridiculously entertaining, like an evening with old friends who knew you when. But this backstory/deep-dive character work is too method, Mike.

Too many typos! Bad copy-editing

why not capitalize God?

“For it is a deep and human truth that most souls upon the earth are not at ease unless they find themselves safe in the hands of a force far greater than themselves.”

I’ve lost track of how everything connects

“ensorcelling”??? diction!

every flashback makes me feel better about mine

this better not be a shaggy-dog story

Bays has the dramatist’s instinct for pivoting.

…is the ethicist meant to be a Chuck Klosterman doppelgänger?

lol

There’s been an “I” and a “we” but no evidence otherwise of an actual narrator

What strikes me, 35 years on from publication? Our situation has not improved.
