Title: Boring
Product review: An elaborately failed takeoff on "Lolita." In an attempt to satirize the academic world that spawned "Lolita," the author has produced a pastiche of the scholarly study. Unfortunately, the pastiche turned into an overblown burlesque, complete with mind-numbing footnotes, whole pages printed in italics and an entire chapter printed in red, upside down and backwards. A wonderful example of a writer trying too hard and succeeding at nothing but the induction of ennui.
