"Playground" by Richard Powers

Playground by Richard Powers is a wild one to say the least.  A number of storylines ran throughout the whole book.  The best one was about a young boy who loved to plop and play board games.  Other parts made little to no sense.  I would not recommend this one.  (Gerard's review, 3.5 stars)
