Tim O'Brien is one of my favorite authors, but this is probably my least favorite of his books (so far? I think there's still one I haven't read).

I don't even really have much to say about it - it takes place over a couple days of just waiting, so it felt like very little happened. I understand that the flashbacks and excerpts from real books, fictional interviews, etc, were supposed to add context and backstory, but ... a lot of those felt repetitive and didn't add much. Still felt like nothing was happening.

Of course, this is just me. I usually think O'Brien's brilliant, so maybe I just didn't get this one.

Sending to someone outside Bookcrossing, so I'm marking this one "travelling." Maybe they'll come here to make an update!
