Title: Very frustrating
Product review: There are bits of true insight in this book, particularly in how Phillips understands how issues of wealth and class twist people in ways that are not global but distinctive to their personality. And the end is horrifying.But the middle 200-250 pages of this book are completely insufferable. I had to force myself to read it, and it took me nearly two months of fits and starts to do so.It's a shame. Phillips needs to show some respect for his readers and drop his urge for Shyamalan style shenanigans. It's just cheesy and tedious, a problem his occasionally skillful prose can't cover for long.
