 While reading I somehow enjoyed it too. Afterwards I felt, well, "empty".  All 
 motifs were played through & there was no poetic substance left. The book  
 started so promising, but in the end I felt cheated for my invested  
 imagination. It's all method. No real juice. Same with "Buddening Prospects" 
 (?), the other book of Boyle I read. Would never read these books a second   
 time. Got similar problems with the novels of Joerg Fauser and of Ian McEwan (- 
 read recently "Amsterdam", which was - in the backlook - a complete waste of 
 time).

 Best, Kai (- who does not want to spoil your party)
