Query: Held My Interest

Any book that holds my attention for 500 pages must have something going for it. I am an impatient reader and critical, but I enjoyed reading about Benjy, even if he was whiny and ungrateful. The scenes in India and London are well done, and his wife is an interesting character. The author's italicized chapter beginnings are too mystical for me. I quit reading them after two or three. If one of them had prefaced the first chapter, I never would have taken this book out of the library.
