This was an odd book. Some great ideas but felt disjointed. I did check to see if it had been written by more than one person but it appears not. I am a great fan of fun (wacky, crazy, interesting, off-kilter, weird) ideas; and they don't have to make sense in the real world as long as they make sense in the story. This tale, alas, felt like there were way too many ideas all fighting for a place in the top spot.  I gave it 3 stars but it only barely made 3 because it transitioned rather jerkily in places. I ploughed on regardless because I really wanted to see what the author did with the tangled tale, but it wasn't an easy ride and the hero was a little too 'can do it all' for me. I think I actually preferred the historical parts. I did like that the author really went for it though - it's not a short book.
