Title: Thought the Title was the Only Clever Line
Product review: I was very much looking forward to reading Landvik since I had heard many good things. Alas, my fellow amazon reviewers misled me. Yuck. I thought the book was pitifully underwritten, with shallow and extremely contrived characters. I found most of the humor to be insulting and the overall plot to be vain and simpering. I am hoping that "Patty Jane" is better, but I don't think I am up to reading it, just in case. I am deeply disturbed that Landvik is recommended in the same group as Michael Lee West. West is so superior to Landvik--as a story teller, as a satirist, as a slice-of-life writer--that the two should never be mentioned again in the same sentence.
