Title: Second the "Oh, Please"
Product review: I second the reviewer from Brooklyn (amen, sister). I was hankering after a good read about the sixties; however, I was sorely disappointed. I read on only because I thought perhaps there was something substantive that was eluding me. After finishing the book I concluded that its only benefit was to have learned how not to write fiction. Granted, there are some lovely passages, nice writing here and there, but by and large I found the book as a whole to be clunky, superficial, and contrived. What is truly shocking, however, is to read so many glowing reviews. It makes me wonder if there is any value whatsoever in using Amazon reviews as a yardstick.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
