Query: A Book for the Ages...

This book is one that has no real plot. It continues on, with purpose kept well hidden-- from the begging to the end-- from the reader. In fact, if there was a purpose I have yet to find it. It has detail, and thankfully not as much as John Steinbeck, which would make it totally unbearable. Only bother with this book if you have a high tolerance for wandering through the story. You will not have a main character. You will not get anything out of the multiple diversion thrown into the book. I would, in short, recommend you get a book that has a plot, a purpose, ANYTHING but the pure 'fluff' in this one.
