Sequel to The Thing of it Is starts off a lot better than that one because more stuff has happened - the lead, Aaron (a Goldman surrogate with his bad back, neurosis and early success) has been fired off a musical and his marriage has ended, and he's seeing a dancer and his wife has a new guy. That's all interesting. But then it goes grim... he has his daughter for the day, she gets injured on a swing, the wife yells at him on the phone... so he abducts her. Tries to get her to go to Miami. He's a complete shit - injures a suss pawnbroker, is mean to his girlfriend, his daughter is scared and wounded... He's a terrible person and it's unpleasant to spend time with him.
Written in an easy to devour style just hard to hang around this selfish idiot.
