Glen David Gold's Sunnyside
I remembered really liking Gold's first book, which came out about a hundred years ago, so was excited he finally published a second one. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get into it. It's a slow starter and definitely there were some characters/plots I found interesting, but I got bogged down in a lengthy section involving Charlie Chaplin and totally lost interest. I have a rule that if I get 100 pages into a book and don't care enough to finish, I can totally give up and move on to another one. And I just couldn't face 400 more pages of this.
