Query: I dislike being a downer, but

I didn't even finish this. And before you discount my review entirely, it's worth acknowledging that I was more than halfway through it at the time I gave up. Around page 270 the main plot was just being introduced, for starters. The constant back and forth of Hiroshima/Nagasaki and present day was very distracting, and the way dialog was set up was very confusing at times. It just dragged, and I couldn't make myself push through to the end, especially when it took so long to get as far as I did. I was disappointed, in both the book and myself. I don't like not finishing books, but I had to cut it loose.
