Sunset Park - Paul Auster

One of the reasons I so enjoy Paul Auster is that his style is so readable.  This element is present and correct.  However the twists and wild coincidences that drive the best Auster novels are not really here.  There seem to be too  many points of view and no chance to really get under anybodies skin.  The result is a very readable entertaining enough story that seems to end up not really saying anything.

6/10
