Review title: A snooze by an editor who badly needs an editor
Product review: This isnt a novel, it's a screed with a few potted jokes, most delivered with hamhanded timing, about the author's pals in the New York media, a world that I'm sure fascinates us all. A few passages come alive, the characters never do. (Dick Tracy was more three-dimensional.) As a piece of hype, it's the literary equivalent of the movie Titanic. As a piece of literature, it's the faux-literary equivalent of the boat Titanic. Save yourself.
