I gave this book more than a fair shake but I gave up about halfway. The story was uninteresting. The characters, including the children, were some of the most unsympathetic I've ever read. The author tries to be insightful but half the time it's gibberish. Really - I mean, some of the sentences seem to be made up of words randomly culled from a dictionary-flip.

You will only find pretension here - that, and a huge dose of utter Britishness. I'm a Briton by descent, raised in an Anglophile part of the world, and I can't believe that anyone's crust could actually be as thick as the softest character portrayed here.
