It's a Hodgepodge!
It's like Doerr was working on 4 different books and couldn't decide which one to publish, so he combined all into one and no editor had the courage to tell him to pick one or the other! I suspect the good reviews and great sales are based on Doerr's last book but time and more user reviews will bring out the truth of this one. It's a mess! That said, if you have the skill to use your Kindle's ability to examine chapters and jump from one to another, I think you'll enjoy reading the one book imbedded in the 4 that has some continuity, the one rooted in Constantinople.
