Title: why do professional reviewers like this one so much?
Review: I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. Anna Quindlen raved about it months before its publication. Other reviewers gave it glowing reviews. So when I began this book and found it boring and dull and monotonous, I wondered what was wrong with me! This book was a terrible disappointment--there's nothing in it but a recitation of daily goings-on among the various mostly unappealing residents of one Bronx neighborhood. There's no insight from the author and nothing to pull the book together. I do not recommend this one whatsoever.
