Title: Disappointing, dreary, dull
Product review: PJ O' Rourke is a funny man at times but this book didn't do it for me. There's a heavy US flavour to the book which is not a criticism but makes it less penetrable for an outsider than the only other O'Rourke book which I've read which was "Holidays in Hell" and which I enjoyed immensely.I also found it interesting that some of the other readers who were most highly critical of this book are non-Americans like myself.Frankly I agree with those who find his tirades (and I think that's the most appropriate description) boring. No matter how clever the language in which they are couched his rantings become a little tedious. I'm about half way through the book and I don't think I'll finish it.
