Title: community college creative writing evening class
Product review: After reading Running with the Buffaloes I searched for more running-related books and came across this one. The title alone should have been warning enough as to just how awful this book is. Anyone who has sat through a creative writing class will recognize this: it's written by the guy in the class who just read Catcher in the Rye and decided that he could write something like it.The characters in this book, all of them, and their relationships are unbelievable. The smart people are too smart; the dumb people too dumb. The dialogue and description made me wince.One shouldn't love a running novel merely because one loves running - the only explanation I can think of for all the exceptional reviews I see here on Amazon for this book. (Geez, one person exclaimed it was the best book he'd ever read!)I noticed that the author has another book out titled, Runners and Other Dreamers. Now that sounds good.
