Picked this book up at the Oxfam store on St. Giles. I thought it had a lot of potential--Chabon is a great author, the premise was interesting, and the cover was pretty--but in the end, it left me a bit disappointed. Perhaps it's just because my mind is too feeble, but I couldn't keep some of the characters apart in my head, and also I wasn't so shocked at the end when I learned 'whodunnit'. All the same, it's worth a read. The illustrations are fab.

Enjoy!
