The writing style: WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much detail that adds nothing to the story line. I got, maybe, two-thirds of the way through, and still the 3 separate characters' stories had not become amalgamated; I got tired of waiting to see whether anything ever actually happened.
Im sorry, but when it comes to reading and movies I like them just told; I want a clear plot, convoluted though it may be. I tend very strongly to want the characters to tell me who and what they are; I will virtually never "see" the writing itself as a means of conveying something other than the story line--for ex., satire almost always goes right over my head. Not exactly sophisticated in my reading, or much else for that matter.
Edit: so--you all please tell me what I'm missing, in this book.
