Clearly Jennifer Egan is not for me. She's a great writer, and for the first half of the book I enjoyed getting to know her characters, but as soon as I got comfortable in one perspective, she shifted to another. And then the actual focus of the plot somehow went from own-your-unconscious to an intricate game of connections across families and time. And it started to feel like a puzzle exercise, but without any payoff?
