When a writer can’t come to the damn point after 125 pages, I start to lose interest. The thing that amazes Kluger is that sometimes things that appear simple are actually pretty complicated. This doesn’t seem quite so astonishing for me, and Kluger’s sense of amazement wears rather thin with chapter-after-chapter of meandering semi-coherence. Maybe he draws it all together in a staggering conclusion; I wouldn’t know because I didn’t get that far. I suspect not, though.
