Title: Over-Hyped.
Product review: I picked up this book because of the enormous hype behind it and from the majority of the positive testimonials here. Unfortunately I couldn't see what the big deal was. I thought the writing was ameteurish, it was uneccessarily and excessively gruesome in parts, the plot didn't engage me whatesoever, and I felt it was emotionally manipulative. The up side is it's a quick read. If you want a good cry, then by all means, carry on, but if you're looking for more message and meat in your literary choices, stick with something like 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay', the pulitzer winner of 2001.
