still not really enjoying this one... too much Anna May, too much fish out of water awkwardness, not enough of Lana's friends and family that are actually likeable (practically none really), no Ohio. More than that, I'm not even invested in the mystery. At least I'm 2/3rds through

I'm not really tearing through this one, which is rather weird, but I think I've identified the problem: no Cleveland. I mean, don't get me wrong, the Mistake on the Lake isn't one of mankind's great achievements, but the fact that it was a different setting from the usual NY/BOS/CHI/LA/SF/MI/NO cycle plus all Lana's friends are there and that's the real problem, I miss the secondary characters
