Title: Breast seller?
Product review: First Elizabeth Wurtzel's BITCH, now this. If there's a topless woman on the cover, it must be good, right? Anyway, Zeidner is too talented to wholly dismiss; there are many fine passages of physical description (credit cards, room service trays), particularly in the opening pages. But finally we're left with a contrived tale, spun out for far too long, whose point almost seems to be: how naughty can Clare be and still get away with it? She stops seeming "transgressive" (or "newly bold," yes we get the joke about the name) and just comes off as a selfish deadbeat. Don't believe me? What if I take my shirt off?
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
