The 42nd Parallel (U.S.A. #1)

Did I just give this book 1 1/2 ? It looked like it and if so , that's what I want . with the exception of Hemingway and some Fitzgerald , I'm not found of writers of this period ( WW I and the Roaring 20s .
The characters were neither memorable or likable , which is a poor way to begin a trilogy . So given that I am no longer tied to a required reading list , I'll accept #1 as emblematic of the whole .

"I struggling with where the authore is going with his characters , if anyhere
It seems that the best part are interuptions cast as 'Newsreel' and another 'The Camera Eye' that seem to focus on large issues of current events rather than the individual intrigues of the main charactersI hope to finsih by Labor Day . Unless someone puts a gun to my head , there won't be a five-star rating here."
