Title: Am I missing something?
Product review: Little Children got great reviews, but I couldn't get past Chapter 1. Perrotta thinks he knows how women think, feel and talk, but he doesn't. His cliches are so embarrassing they made my toes curl. His prose was patronizing and superficial. I developed an attitude problem before I'd finished the first two sentences in the book: "The young mothers were telling each other how tired they were. This was one of their favorite topics, along with the eating, sleeping, and defecating habits of their offspring, the merits of certain local nursery schools, and the difficulty of sticking to an exercise routine."His characters sound like lobotomized Barbie dolls. Yech.
