Title: Overrated
Product review: The reviewers have promised more than Charles Baxter can deliver. These are not real people. Nobody talks this way.There's something sad about about a tight-laced, uber-midwestern, middle-aged man trying to invent a couple of madcap stoner kids; in the first place I doubt that the way to become a love-happy laid-back dude is to have an evil, drunken, sex offender for a father.The ending of this book (and yes, it is too a novel) is both predictable and disappointing. You will not fail to note the page upon which we are invited to cry. You will also note (if you please) the page upon which we are to feel uplifted at long last.I do not recommend this book
