Title: You Too Can Lose Sleep Tonight!!
Review: If you enjoy reading unconnected, plotless, sometimes titillating, always depraved vignettes, than this is the book for you. While I enjoyed some of Kosinski's sometimes lush prose, I prefer an interesting plot with at least one admirable character, and so this work rates as the very worst novel I have ever read. That can't be true, can it? I'm thinking. I've read some time-wasters, but no, this is the biggest one of all. Very disturbing as well. The soft cover advertises that 'Tarden is the "ultimate secret agent". I see him rather as the ultimate demented mind. Very twisted. Tarden makes "dysfunctional" seem like a worthy goal.The jacket promises that "the silently suffering are quietly rewarded and the unjust are mercifully punished." Horsehockey. Tarden punishes those who do not do what he requires; and I saw little evidence that anyone is "quietly rewarded" except those readers who pass this book up.
