Title: Unbelievably Awful
Product review: One of the worst books I've ever read all the way through to the end--and I only kept reading to see if it could really get worse (it can, and does).Heppner uses lazy, predictable, wooden, pedestrian prose. Whoever at Publisher's Weekly said his prose is "axe-sharp" should be fired. This is a novel which requires no work whatsoever on the part of the reader (well, maybe only to stifle laughter at Heppner's terrible sentences and dialogue), uses no imagination, and would be utterly forgettable if it wasn't so unbelievably awful.It's supposedly satire but it's not funny, it's supposedly literary but contains no artistry whatsoever. The Egg Code showed some promise, which is how I unfortunately got suckered into buying Pike's Folly. I won't be fooled again. This feels like something Heppner wrote in twenty minutes to fulfill a book contract. This is a work of fiction which is utterly without merit. Don't waste your time or money.
