Title: Too much pathos
Product review: By the time I was half-way through with this book I no longer cared about the main character Frank Bascome. He seemed so self-absorbed and frankly whiny. The writing is excellent but I don't understand how I am supposed to relate to this person who seems so out of touch with every other person he comes in contact with. He doesn't understand his clients, his ex-wife, his maybe-girlfriend, his son. I just don't find the writing to be Pulitzer Prize material unless, like some modern art, it was meant to be above all of us plebeian readers. If this is my problem, I accept that but I read to be entertained, not to have to analyze each sentence.
