The sentences in this are so convoluted. In one sentence it begins with "As a result," then 18 words followed by a colon, after which there is a parenthesis with quotation marks inside the parenthesis, two more commas, a semi-colon, another colon, then three commas. Despite all that, it's not a difficult sentence to follow, but I just think Lerner's editors were a little too indulgent with him on this one.

I've only just started, but it's refreshing to read a book in which there are so few major issues that I can consider the technical aspects. Lerner does this odd thing where a character begins a monologue and its not marked in quotes, the only way to recognize the monologue has begun is the change in voice and tone. And it is well done. I successfully realized the speaker had changed. But I also wonder why even do it
