Title: A MAJOR letdown.
Product review: I started reading Delacorta in 1988, when I found a copy of Luna in the bargain bin at Waldenbooks. Collecting and reading and re-reading the rest of the books in that series was a pleasant hobby for a few years. Delacorta has what it takes to write a French swindler and his near-Lolita paramour in and around Paris.He doesn't have any of what it takes to 1) write rap lyrics, 2) write American underworld characters, 3) write American metropolitan feel. I showed up giving him the benefit of every doubt, and he disappointed again and again. I don't know if this nadir of his career has led to retirement or not, but it wouldn't surprise me.My sweet Lord, the rap lyrics were so awful that at first I thought he was satirizing them.
