Much of this book is disjointed. The reader frequently doesn't know who is narrating the story from one paragraph to the next. To make matters worse, characters sometimes refer to themselves in the third person - and then switch to first person in the same paragraph. Many times, a story line is suddenly stopped, and the next chapter occurs years later, with a different set of characters. Nevertheless, there were some memorable scenes and even one line that I had to copy into my list of memorable quotations. I won't include the quote here, because it might offend somebody. However, it speaks of the futility of reasoning with certain types of people.
