Title: Unimaginative
Product review: There are many new, skillfully-written books of short stories by women this summer. But I'm surprised Bank's flat style is commanding so much attention. I found the characters thin and the language unimaginative. Do yourself a favor and read Stacey Richter's "My Date with Satan" and Julia Slavin's "The Woman who Cut Off Her Leg at the Maidstone Club." They are the real works of art that stand apart from the contrived, overhyped "genre" of "girl fiction."
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
