Title: Talking heads and vengance served cold.
Product review: I have read almost everything Smith has written, many of which I enjoyed, and I know several of those who he uses as templates for charachters from my days in his circle of friends. I read the book out of curiosity of how he would handle several of those people.I admit a certain perverse pleasure over several of his characterizations of popular figures but the constant drone of his main characters turned talking heads and the petty way he wrote about those he has personal issues with turned me off. I plowed through to the end just to see who else he was going to attack, and to see if I was included in this list.I was sad to find the characters of Win Bear, Lucy, Will and Clarissa turned into talking heads for his personal disputes with those who disagree with him. I sadly must rate this as one of Smiths lesser books and found myself disapointed after such a long wait between novels.
