Title: Painful
Product review: Like other reviewers I stopped reading half way. The authors couldn't make up their mind whether to write an antiquarian story, a college story, or a mystery. These strains are in no way intertwined. Everything that happens is totally unlikely. For instance, a person is murdered and no one goes to find out who and who did it. Or: Preoccupied about one room mate's fate, a student goes first lecturing about Roman topography in the middle of the night. The girlfriend of the first person narrator shows up from time to time and is not involved in the actions - is this Princeton undergrad love? The Princeton professor of Renaissance is named Taft, and of course the reader is induced to think of Anthony (Tony) GrAFTon. But none of the characteristics of Taft apply to Grafton. This is painful undergraduate creative writing.
