Review: Ambitious--but cluttered

I like this author--and have enjoyed several of his books.  This book is a rare exception for several reasons.  On the negative side, I agree with some of the posts that are quick to point out that the story stalls--there is simply too much going on to follow (without a good deal of concentration) the characters and their link to the story line.  On the other hand, I am critical of authors that take a short story and attempt to build it into a novel.  The opposite seems to apply here.  The story might have been more enjoyable if it had been made into a series and developed slower.
