I am a reader who believes that any book over 400 pages has something that could have been left out, be it extensive descriptions or dialogue, unless it is an epic story like Lord of the Rings. This is a 500+ page book that, in my opinion, fits that bill. I almost put it down by page 10 because Straub was jumping between two different times and it was driving me nuts! I thought the whole book was going to be like that and I wasn't going to keep reading. Fortunately, that was only the "intro." I liked the premise and thought Straub did a good job of bringing together seemingly random events to fit a singular cause of them all. Overall, it is a good book and worth digging through.
