Title: Tedious
Product review: I haven't been able to get past the first 50 pages and I came to amazon to see if other readers think it's worth forging ahead. The verdict appears to be no. I know it's intended to be tongue in cheek, but the characters were so full of themselves and smug. And, um, would anybody really go see a movie called "My Lovemaking with Elena"? Ick.Also, it was published in 2007 and the way they were talking about Iraq just felt so tired. Yes, it's a senseless war and a shameful waste, but they had nothing new or interesting to say about it. I like Jane Smiley but I'm not going to waste any more time on this one.
