Pros & Cons
Pros
This is a book you want to savour over a period of time. Watch the story lines evolve and weave together over the decades. Think about the ideas which underlie the plot line.
Cons
The narration is horrible and does the author and publisher harm. I suspect they will be tied together at some point, but the author goes on and on with overly-detailed explanations that have no real relevance to the plot.
The climactic end of the book is disappointing. The most anti-climatctic ending ever. I hear it's a slow starter.
Women are * or madonnas. The female characters are nothing more than props for the personality-less male characters.
Highlights
Quality
I picked up a kindle about a year ago with the goal to read 1 book per month
So this was an obvious choice and i am very pleased with it
I had a lot of difficulty with the rotating povs which is part of what made this slow for me
The main problem with the book is the dumping of exhibition
Competitiveness
Worthy of its recognition and probably worthy of 5stars

It could still be a great story at 500 pages but this is like watching the directors cut of your favorite movie and then watching all the deleted scenes in book form
