Title: Banal and inconsequential
Product review: These stories are so slim and inconsequential that motivation to read on wanes fast. And the flatness of the prose style - which I suppose is deliberately naive - doesn't help. It's a dull book. The only coherence - and again, I presume this is deliberate - is in the relationship of the nonentities described to the author. This alone is not enough to carry a novel - it's a one trick pony. I struggled to care about the author (I assume it's autobiographical - no-one could create a life this boring) or the characters she meets. Sure, real life can be tedious and inconsequential, but there should be more to fiction.
