Well written book, perfect for cynical journalist types. I HATED the ending (basically the last 2-3 chapters), which essentially killed the dreams of everyone in the book. I can't decide if Rachman wanted people to NOT care about any of the characters (therefore making the ending more appropriate out of futile symbolism) or if I just didn't notice his complete lack of empathy as an author until nearly the end of the book. I won't spoil it, but let me just warn you, dear reader (for fear you, like me, are an animal lover), with these words: It involves a dog.
