I read this book as part of a book group. For the first time I can recall, none of the members of the group liked the book. Strange, because usually at least one of us disagrees with the others! It was difficult to determine which of the many characters was the subject of the book. It was disjointed, had too many themes and tried to cover every type of social problem, without delving deeply into any of them. The characters were flat. It was difficult to feel empathy for any of them. The ending wasn't satisfactory.
