" I really like Paul Auster, but I found this book to be too contrived. The characters were predictable and not really very believable. Also, his liberal slant is a little over-the-top for my taste. Had he poked more fun at his own political/social beliefs, I may have enjoyed the book a tiny bit more, but overall I still would have remained fairly unsatisfied. All of this being said, Auster, as usual, is an interesting read. "
