It took me over a year to finish this book. 
 I enjoyed The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, I really did. I relished their successes, and I was intrigued to read as their lives played out. Unfortunately, I don't think Michael Chabon's writing style meshed very well with me. So many parts of the book just dragged, filled with information that was great at fleshing out the world, sure, but was ultimately boring. There were also things that weren't really fleshed out as much as I'd have liked them to be. Mostly the emotional parts. I don't know... as much as I enjoyed the book, the only part I can say was really gripping to me was the events at Kelvinator station. I like it, but I don't think the writing style is for me.
