Title: Prententious, minimalist nothing
Product review: I notice that above there are only book critics, who all loved this book.I'm not and I didn't. I bought it (paid full price, worse luck) on the strength of its having won the Booker prize. I liked Byatt and other Booker prize winners, but this thing is ridiculous. It might do as an outline for a novel, but it certainly isn't one as it stands. Fitzgerald apparently was trying to win the prize for terse signifcance. In my book, she got the terse, but the significance escapes me. Don't bother with this if you like real novels.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
