Title: Very overdone, bad ending
Product review: Pop. 1280 was published 12 years after Thomspon's classic The Killer Inside Me and tells a very similar story - but not as well. Killer was a serious crime story, Pop. 1280 departs from reality to the point where the people often come across as caricatures. The ending of the book was also very disappointing; it seemed that Thompson just ran out to things to say. The two stars are for the sometimes very witty writing and the intricate manipulations that are woven into the plot.
