Too much and not enough-good start fizzled out.

A lot of detail and a lot of people doing this and that but was left wondering why.

Sex scenes seemed shoe - horned in (as it were) for no particular reason.

I liked the part of the book which described how the commune got going - but ended up feeling irritated.
