Query: disappointed

i have not read other sontag works and was really looking forward to this novel by way of introduction. however, other than the highly creative and stunning "chapter zero" there was little to this book. the storyline seemed boring if not trite, and i did not find the writing style particularly interesting either. maryna had my attention off and on, but she and many of the other characters seemed flat to me, alternating between not-quite-alive to over-alive. short of RAVE reviews for some other piece of writing by her, i won't be sampling her other works any time soon.
