Title: You must have better things to do with your time
Product review: I had a suspicion, almost from the first page that I was reading rubbish but as you can see I have been kind and granted this novel 2 stars as the writing in places is just passable.I bought the book on the strength of the blurb on the back (when will I learn) - "An Amazon Best Book of the Decade... so Far". Shame on you Amazon. Anyway, I actually have just arrived at page 110 and don't intend to go further; I have better things to do with my time.Why this decision; well I checked out those "suspicions" on Amazon and when the one star reviews are written better than the five star reviews, then that's the time to give up.However, I can understand that this novel might have some appeal for less demanding readers, after all it's not as ghastly as Tuesday with Morrie, which was also a best seller and also reflects on the public's appalling lack of literary taste.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
