Title: Shallow book, badly written
Review: This wretched book's defenders say that its critics are just too uptight to appreciate Malachy's story, but they're wrong. Although he is not my favorite kind of person, what I most object to about this book is how poorly written it is: The narrative is episodic instead of thoughtfully plotted; the writing style comprises nothing more than cliches, cloying mannerisms, and juvenile attempts at cleverness; and the characters range from one dimensional (the author) to all but invisible (his victims). The book gives us absolutely no one to care about. Anyone who thinks it is well written doesn't know what good writing is.
