Title: Mr. Perfect is Mr. Boring
Product review: I could only get through 150 pages of this insufferable main character. Since I only read a fraction of this 500-page book, I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt by rating it 2 stars instead of 1.Tony Lord is absolutely perfect in every way. He's a hard-working working-class guy who is brilliant, a star athlete (in TWO sports), gorgeous, and dating the prettiest, richest girl in school, who has saved her virginity just for him. He has a rough patch (to say the least) but we already know that he ends up as a famous lawyer with a gorgeous movie-star wife. Oh, for Pete's sake!What's more, Patterson likens Tony's persecution to that suffered by Jews (via his lawyer [!]) and blacks (via his football teammate [!]). It was all too much. I had zero sympathy for what could have been a very sympathetic character.
