Query: Thanks goodness it wasn't my lack of attention!

I just read through the reviews and am relieved to see that I am not the only one who was a little confused with all the different characters and plots. I actually listened to this as an audio book during my commute to work for a few days. As interesting as it seemed- I really had a hard time following - and I thought maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention listening. Thanks to the other reviews- I won't be buying the book to see what I missed out on.Don't get me wrong- all the characters are interesting and the small town very well depicted- it just got too convoluted in some parts for me and I love Peter Straub!
