Rated Skippy Dies 4/10

An interesting plot with well thought-out characters, drawn out over far too many pages, weighted down with lengthy diversions into string theory (snore) and First World War studies (which I found fascinating). Most of all, I found the author's inconsistent use of voice--he switches from second (UGH!) to third person narrative, frequently in the midst of a chapter--to be distracting and irritating rather than clever. If Murray's editors had forced him to reign it all it a bit, I think I'd have enjoyed it much more.
