What a tedious book! I had not read Chabon before this. But I was aware that he was quite a critical darling, and had won a Pulitzer. I had high expectations for the book, and was utterly disappointed. After reading, I came to the conclusion that the only reason this book won the Hugo was because fans thought they needed to jump on the Chabon bandwagon, that they wanted to have at least one Hugo winner also be a famous literary prize winner.
