Title: Overtly smug, boring, waste of time
Product review: First and foremost, I must say I did not finish this book. I couldn't. It sickened me. After 150 pages, I felt my time would be better spent scrubbing a toilet than reading this trash. Smiley obviously and profusely hates Bush, the Iraq war, and possibly the American military. That much I understood. Everything else, well it was too embedded in obsurd sexual stories and other filth for me to recognize. I loved Smiley's "Horse Heaven" and read "A Thousand Acres", and so I decided to read another novel by her. I will not do that again. I believe there are too many other great works of fiction waiting to be read to waste another second reading her propaganda. My only regret is reading the first 150 pages. Avoid this book.
