Title: A story with NO pay-off for the reader
Product review: This book was recommended as a NY Times notable book which I trusted. The book reads like the first novel of a very "sensitive, artistic" under-grad writing student. There are a lot of pretentious descriptions and the hint at an interesting story but it is entirely unsatisfying and you realize just past the half way mark it's not getting better.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
