Title: What a disappointment
Review: Ugly cover, lousy title...and the book itself! Bland, boring, unconvincing. There's nothing wrong with having characters who are slackers, but it might help to have the slackers be interesting or even a little nuts. Nothing is at stake in this book--for anybody. And Olsson apparently has no sense of humor--her charactrers are all very grim and very earnest, and she's very condescending not only the poor boring dopes that inhabit her book but to her readers as well. Very sad. And why use "Waterloo" for Austin--especially since the book jacket says "Austin"? Stupid.The sound you hear is Billy Lee Brammer spinning in his grave....
