Title: pretentious and boring
Product review: I had great expectations for this book after reading a brief synopsis of it -- I would have been happy to stop reading right then and there. There is very little suspense built up over the course of the entire book, and there are senseless plot twists that keep the reader wondering "why did that have to happen?" (and why am I reading this?). Secondly, there are too many characters introduced for the authors to be able to deal with them on a less superficial level. Thirdly, the characters go off on way too many philosophical ramblings at inappropriate times in the book--people just don't talk that way (citing Greek philosophers in casual conversation)--even pretentious Princeon undergrads don't interact with each other that way. If they do, then I'm sorry that I wasted my time by painfully reading through this book. Don't be fooled by the inside cover's plot summary. You'll be disappointed.
