Title: Talented writer, but bad book
Product review: This book is about a band that could never make it in the rock scene in NY (or did they?), and the author tirelessly rips them appart. I had many problems with this book. Number one, isn't it a little easy to rip on a band that never made it. It's a little like picking on the smallest kid in school. It's easy, but why bother. Second, Sorrentino writes the book in a strange and creative structure. But, a cool structure doesn't make up for a dull story. Most of the book is about one night when the band just plays at a club. Pulp Fiction wasn't a good movie just because it had an interesting structure, it was an interesting story to begin with.The worst chapter is Dub 3 (Vocals) where every character is asked the same three questions. Again, these are not interesting questions, or answers. It's just people rambling. I know some people liked it, and I thought I would like it too, but in the end it just sounds like a talented writer with no direction or motivation.
