Title: Life is Too Short
Product review: Some may enjoy this New Age novel for its kitsch appeal but for me, it is so poorly concieved and poorly written that I just couldn't finish it.Just one example: one of the main premises of the book is that throughout the world, "coincidences are happening more and more." No particular reason was given for this assertion. The main character didn't seem to have a coince-a-meter in his pocket so as to measure the relative proportion of coincidences over time. But no matter - he bases major decisions about his life's direction on his unquestioning belief in the increased incidents of coincidences.Please!But to those out there who recommend this book (including my friend the Vassar graduate who should know better) I'd like to ask you this: why should we turn for spiritual advice to an author who, instead of writing the religious tract he ought to have, narcissitically foists upon the world a novel when he has absolutely no understanding of how to use the form?
