At first, I thought this apparent time-travel tale was like the film The Wizard of Oz, and was willing to put up with the nonsense. A drunk falls into the marsh and wakes up a century earlier. Lots of us would like to do that. I figured it was a spiritual journey of sorts.Sadly, the second part of the book was absolutely awful and was a total let-down. The guy is in an nuthouse and he does not improve. I did not care about him, his mentally-retarded child (I know that phrase is not politically correct, but it is proper if you actually know what the word means), his should-have-been ex-wife, or any of the other characters. Nobody is fleshed out in this absolutely incomprehensible book.There is one amazing positive about this book: The word FRUGALITY is an acronym for the way one should live life. It is marvelous and I will probably write it down somewhere. However, it does not raise the value of the rest of the poor story.
