This was an interesting idea.  There were spots where it really dragged, I didn't need to know so much of the history lessons or the "how does relatvity work" stuff.I really liked the Colonel and enjoyed his take on the good and the bad in his time and in the present.  Kathy Lee, however, was not the most likeable of people.  I am not really sure what rubbed me wrong about her, maybe her ablity to just dump her kids depsite that fact she sees herself as someone all wrapped up in being a June Cleaver mom and housewife.  And this is a whole new centruy as she is always trying to explain to the Colonel---she doesn't need her husband's permission to get a divorce and really, a couple of pictures could have her declared an unfit mother when everyone in town knows her husband is hopping in a different bed each week?  This just made her seem weak and unappealing to me.Parts of the book were entertaining and it held my interest.  The change in narrator at the very end could have worked well, but I found myself with unanswered questions.
