Title: Publicists in high places
Product review: The true praise for this book should be reserved for its publicist and the strings they pulled to get the three glowing reviews I've read. If this were indeed a talented rendering of the cultural overload created by an abundance of meaningless possibilities, it would be both more self-aware and more varied in its rendering of supporting characters. Instead, it reads as a self-engrossed blog. Some credit is due the author for approximately 20 pages describing a show down with his father. Taken alone, these pages would make a compelling short story. Smothered in the rest of the text, they are not enough to convince me that the purchase price and reading time were well spent.
