OK, I’ve finished it and I like more than I dislike. Alex Berenson says that this novel is about revenge, but despite their best efforts, no one really succeeds in achieving their goal.

My bad — David is correct about Tom Perrotta, and the quote in the Times article is correctly attributed to him.
