...novel's central and most appealing character; but the story does not begin by focusing on him. Although Spark's narration is usually smooth, the reader feels something of a jolt when the camera begins to follow Harvey's life exclusively. Here the author seems to have had an unclear idea of the nature of effect she wanted for her novel; she seems to have been torn between making it a cartoon and making it a movie.
