Title: Disappointing!!!
Product review: If Perrotta's goal was to create characters who are shallow and selfish that you loathe by the end of the last page, the man is simply brilliant! I kept thinking the whole time that the author was developing the wrong characters. Maybe I'm just atypical..but this was not anything like MY transition into adulthood. I thought the book was as shallow and predictable as its characters....excluding the last 25 pages or so. Here's a real challenge...how about a book that TRULY deals with transition into adulthood...young adults trying to figure out how they got to where they are, all the while struggling to do what's right and live up to the choices they've made. I guess that's too much to ask. Don't let the major reviews fool you...this is not that book. Oh, I also didn't find this book as comedic as I did disturbing. I did not have a single laugh-out-loud moment with this book. I didn't find a bit of it funny in the least.
