Query: Falls flat!

Having read and enjoyed Kaaterskills Falls by Goodman, I eagerly looked forward to reading this. However, I found the book a let down. This story gave me the sense that Goodman had written parts of this as short stories and tried pasting them all together. There were two characters introduced midway through the book for several chapters who were then never heard from again. The first and second halves of the book don't seem to coherently fit together. I was left feeling like I got introduced to a bunch of different characters, but didn't really get to know any of them very well.
