Title: entirely too self-satisfied
Review: At least the subtitle is straightforward: the author/narrator is everything she claims to be and more. I buy the condescension, the egomaniacal, and the self-centered parts, but the smartass stuff? Not so much. The oh-so-snappy dialogue in this book is labored, precious, and too clever by half. The author can't truly expect readers to believe that she always has just the right witty retort, scathing rejoinder, and perfect put-down at hand.Then again, the boring narrative needs something to make it halfway readable. Lancaster's stories of being an entitled jerk only go so far, and aren't noticeably driven by anything other than the a need to share her insufferable personality. Once she belittles and insults everyone in her life, she expects readers to be impressed that her new landlord will go on to win the grand prize on The Apprentice? Damn, it's amazing what people will publish.
