One of those books where the stars were gradually whittled away as I read. I began by being very impressed by Sternbergh's cool, clear writing style, good control of characters, and intriguing premise. By the end, however, I felt let down by the failure of the internal logic of the story. Note, I say "internal logic": I don't mind a story being a bit implausible, but I really like to feel that the implausibilities are working together like a well-oiled machine, and in the end, achieving something better than crude ol' plausibility! I didn't really feel that we got that here.

On balance, a bit of a bubblegum read.
