Title: boring - bland - bad
Product review: Heppner's first, bloated novel, "The Egg Code," was critically well-received but, on its own, a knockoff of everything trite and tedious you might come across in a graduate-school writing program. Toss in a bit of Powers, a dash of Wallace, some Barthian hyperbole, some Pynchonian futurizing--blah, blah, blah--and you have "The Egg Code," one of the worst books ever written, despite the gargantuan advance and "postmodern" preening of its author.Now, Heppner's back...and worse than before. If that's possible. "Pike's Folly" is a skeleton of a book: poorly written, blandly plotted. At least the book has one purpose: it's now supporting me left-leaning toilet. Thank you, Mr. Heppner, for writing such a "useful" book.
