Title: Not a Feast, Not a Snack...It Is A Scrap
Product review: The characters in this book are memorable, but generally not believable. If it weren't for the genuine, sad Jewish couple who's son torments them in his insanity, I would have thrown out this book without finishing. The teenage character Chloe's dialogue is sometime profound, but so out-of-character, the words become ridiculous. There is more hate and discord in this book than love.Charles Baxter's attempt to align himself with William Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" is a shameless attempt at greater book sales. Mr. Baxter's opinion of the value of his own writing is shocking.Most books I read I pass on to friends when I'm finished. This one went into the recycling.
