Title: Don't the praise look dishonest
Product review: I quit after just a few pages of this book, because Crouch made some errors unworthy of a professional writer, misusing "whom" as the subject of a sentence, and making up a Yiddish word "zhlulbby," when he presumably meant "zhlubby." Crouch claims Saul Bellow as a "mentor," but I wonder whether Bellow (who lauds the book on the inevitable back-cover blurb) even read this novel.The problems that Crouch was trying to write about deserve better treatment than this.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
