Query: Are you kidding me?

Since I enjoy reading just about any genre, I was surprised how much I hated this book. It did not seem to have a clear beginning nor an ending. It was confusing all the way through...jumping between characters and time spans sporadically, even dumping a character with never a clear explanation. Nothing in this book is clear. I think the author enjoys hearing himself talk in as many out of circulation words as possible, which only muddled up the flow or lack thereof in his writing. He should stick to game shows or manuals or something. Novels...no. Who was his editor????? Wow.
