Trapped On A Bus

Revisado: 05-22-12

Imagine a 1500 hundred mile bus ride, seated in a window seat, moving 5 miles an hour through stop and go traffic, at night, next to a stranger in the aisle seat who talks without stopping about whatever random subject floats to the surface of his alleged brain -- his mother-in-law's mortgage payments, the ethics of lottery sales, the price of beans -- and who speaks in sentences so long, filled with asides, circumlocutions, analogies and repetitive emphases that you have long since forgotten the sentence's subject by the time its end arrives -- and you have an inkling of listening to this book.

I'm a George Higgins fan, but this must be his version of "Waiting for Godot," perhaps on a dare to break the world record for most topics raised discussed between two characters without ever advancing the plot. Hammer is a good reader for Higgins, but he is wasted: you just want the pain to stop.
