Query: Avid Block Reader Sorely Disappointed

I've read all of LB's books to date. I have absolutely enjoyed his Scudder books and short stories in some mystery anthologies. I was hoping for another great LB book.I kept on putting this one down feeling that it was discombobulated and somehow incomplete. After more than 100 pages I stopped reading the book. I was frustrated with some characters who just didn't seem real and what did another reviewer say...something about this book being "over the top" at times. How true.I didn't like the flow of the book and the various sub-plots. Not only did I think it was slow moving, but I felt that he wasn't writing some of the women characters well.
