i had high expectations for this book. i was expecting that it would dazzle me, but it didn't. mind you, it was good; it just wasn't fantastic. i'm not sure what it lacked... maybe a sort of lyrical quality that i was hoping for. in this sense it reminded me of v.s. naipul's novels, which i think are good, but lack a certain something that would make them great.
