Review title: Give me back the life I wasted reading this!
Product review: How can a book that garnered such good reviews prove to be such a disappointment? I picked up the book expecting more candy than steak but if I am going to knowingly indulge in empty calories, I'd at least like to enjoy the experience. This book doesn't even rise to the level of beach-reading.It's not just that it was boring, but it was also historically sloppy (Magic Markers, the Watergate in the 40's...puh-leeze) and intellectually dishonest. No character development, no motivation, no reasons to care about any of the characters because all their lives were dismal. At least the ones we were told about...what was with Sandy?The only good thing I can say about it is that because so much of what should have been included to make this a good book wasn't there, it was a very quick read.
