Review: Tries to be bigger than it is

I think the author was going for a grand story, but instead he gives the book a voice that is a little too self-important. What do I mean? It just didn't flow. It didn't help that the editing was terrible. When you have to keep stopping to reread the passage you just read you know you're in trouble. I can take typos as long as they don't yank you out of the narrative. These yank you out of the narrative. Basically, I think the book needs to be a little more accessible. Still, there are moments when it's genuinely engaging.
