I personally thought the book was OK, but the book club did not like the book; including both content and writing style.

I, personally, did not like the book at all; it jumped all over the place, and I could not follow it. There are 14 in our book club, and most of them enjoyed the book. Our discussion leader noted all the \"time sensitive\" words like cars are called machines, etc. He also noted 140 words to look up on definitions. Those in our group who like mysteries really enjoyed the book. Once we discovered the book was the first in its genre, it made a difference in the style of the book. It is a challenging book, but made for great discussion of his character descriptions, use of rolled cigarettes, and love of women. Enjoy!

Does not relate to the 21st century..the slang, the lingo, the, the sexist attitude of men towards women. Shaking my head as I type this.
