Title: University soap
Product review: The first two chapters of Having Everything are fascinating in their creation of situation. An illustrious Harvard professor has a dark side, cat burglar of his friends' homes just for the thrill. But the flavor of the academic atmosphere is inaccurate, the characters implausible. The academics don't seem to be academic. The scene set is more like you would see on a soap opera, the office where nobody works. All flirt and intrigue, and they might as well be anywhere. Most of the wives are stupid and alcoholic, self-pitying and whining. The evil guy is into S&M, finally doing himself in. The children touted as wonderful are prissy and self-righteous. There's plenty of homosexuality and there are enough accusations of child abuse to pander to the ain't it awful game of the politically correct. I couldn't wait to finish this book.
