Review: Muddled & Misleading
Rating: 2 out of 5

When I started this book I was settled in for a evening's read. As I read on, the characters just kept showing up, a lot like a clown car. Too many people, (lots related to each other in vague, unexplained ways) cliched characters & situations, (super rich! supper poor! movie stars! bad people!) & a jump around method of writing that you're never sure who you're reading about. I bought the book not knowing it was only 26 chapters of an ongoing serial novel, so even though much(too much) is made of the fact that several of the charcters eats lots of cereal, the title is a sly play on words. I went to the site (as directed @ the 'end' of the book) & discovered that the book is on chapter 223 now.The few lines I read of chapter 223 had brand new characters, as if the first 26 chapters hadn't introduced enough already. I can walk away from this book totally happy not knowing how it ends, if it ever does...
