Review title: This book is poorly written, predictable, and boring.
Product review: How on earth can any reviewer compare this tripe to "Bonfire of the Vanities?" While Tom Wolfe's masterpiece provides a wry, entertaining look at life in NYC, Anderson's trite book reads like "See Spot Run." First of all, Anderson's writing is too self-conscious. Because of this, he can't put a sentence together to save his life. I had to re-read sentence upon sentence. This is a very, very tedious book. It is so predictable I feel like charging him for the hours I spent reading his silly book. Anderson must know the NY reviewers who gave this book rave reviews. Obviously, those reviewers never cracked the cover of this tome. I have seen better writing in second grade. C'mon, Anderson--you are no novelist! Save a tree. Quit writing.
