Title: Simply awful
Product review: I was surprised to discover that the authors of this book actually grew up in the privileged world they write about. The novel was so filled with wooden stereotypes of socialites that it could have been written by anyone. In fact, all of the characters are stereotypes -- the stiff, British butler, the hot-blooded Hispanic mistress, ad nauseum. If you're looking for witty writing (save for a few unusually snappy lines, the writing is below average at best), interesting characters, or an absorbing plot, look elsewhere. I struggled to make it to page 100 before casting this book aside.
