Title: Really Quite Difficult
Product review: I opened this much-heralded book with the best of intentions. I am accustomed to difficult texts and had anticipated being challenged and invigorated by McGowan's story based on the ample advance publicity "Schooling" had engendered. Unfortunately, I found that the effort I expended in reading the book failed to be adequately rewarded. A book this stylistically inclined should have a grand theme to sustain, to sweep the reader along, to enable him or her to lie back with languid passion and husk, "Take me...I'm yours..." McGowan's tome got a cranky "Oh, all right!" out of me, at best. I think it's a book from a young lady with a lot of potential, plus perhaps a lot of personal problems she needs to work out. I'm looking forward, though hardly holding my breath, to her next. Heaven only can help us if it's "Graduate Schooling," or "Left Back"!
