Title: Belatedly joining the minority
Product review: I finally got around to borrowing this book from the library, after it sat on my "To Read" list for several years. The first chapter, which contains everything of value the author has to say, is strikingly effective and effecting writing. However, the rest of the book is self-indulgent, condescending and, worst of all, relentlessly boring. When I was Egger's age, I thought a book about my friends and I and our lives of "staggering genius" was just what the literary world was waiting for. Thankfully, I grew up and got over myself.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
