Review title: Happy for all those who loved this book.
Product review: I was stunned to see all the 5 star reviews for this book. I don't want to rain on the parade of all those who rave and swoon for Walls' memoir, but I couldn't resist the impulse to add my own two cents worth, just to provide a little balance. Quite simply, after reading the opening, I was astonished at the simplistic approach of the author. I skipped ahead, read a little, skipped ahead again, etc., etc. It didn't get better. There's something terribly wrong with most of the people in the book, but it goes almost unacknowledged and never explained. The writing certainly doesn't salvage the experience. I don't remember who recommended it to me, and it's just as well, because I consider it to be at best a waste of time.
