Mailer's book, the first of his I've read since "The Naked and the Dead" was good. Fascinating plot, and good idea of the inner workings of CIA. Warning: very annoying that he ended it abruptly without any attempt to wrap up things, and worse, the last line reads "TO BE CONTINUED." As far as I know, he has not written a sequel nor intends to.
"The Road" is pretty depressing. I read a lot of user reviews after reading it, and they were mixed, some loved it, others definitely did not. I can't mention more without giving away the plot. So you're on your own.
If you do get, would you try it in the Large portrait mode just to see if you get the same slow page turn problem?
