Title: Pathetic
Product review: I read this much ballyhooed first-time novel with anticipation. Unfortunately, I was let down on a number of levels. The writing was not that good, the plot was wacky, and the characters were poorly developed. All this might be forgiveable for someone in a college-level creative writing class, but a book by a major publisher? Well, that's just incredible! It really made me wonder how publisher's decide who gets published. It also made me question the wisdom of their editors and review boards. However, I will be more discerning next time. I won't be take in by the marketing hype.
