Title: desperately in need of an editor!
Review: Like too many other recent novels, this one seems to have been published without input from an editor. Pop music, drugs, race relations, comic books, 1970s nostalgia, and deep deep Generation Xer navel gazing can be interesting to read about and they can certainly help with marketing. However, littering a "story" with hip topics is not enough. Some genuinely meaningful literary quality-control should go on before a work is published. Criticisms of this book's writing have already been made by earlier Amazon.com reviewers They are right on and I'm not going to waste time repeating them in order to illustrate my point. Rather I will simply bemoan the fact that, once again, an editor at a big publishing corporation failed to do his/her job.
