Title: Slow starter that picked up steam.
Product review: I think Russo is one of the most talented living writers. This is my third Russo book in the last month and I just purchased two more. Straight Man took me a little while to warm up to, but once I did I couldn't put it down. It's about academics, so it's understandable that the characters are not supposed to be instantly likable and have to grow on you. It's one of the few books that made me laugh out loud...and that's rare.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
