Title: oh, the angst burns so
Product review: This novel seems to me to be a theraputic exercise for the author, but therapy and good storytelling don't always come together. This book is in spots witty and clever, though it sorely lacks emotional maturity. The players are two-dimensional caricatures, too often confused by the author with real characters. Mr. Cadre shows a persistent loathing of all his literary creations, without the singular ounce of caring that would make the reader engage them. We don't care about the cartoon people, but we are frequently asked to take them so seriously as to spoil the campy fun possible here.The especially brilliant bits of humor would be better served in a fully-developed story. Sadly, the sense that this is a smart kid's whining session made Ready, Okay unbearable.
