Review title: A pathetic shadow of former greatness.
Product review: I've been a fan of Dan Jenkins' for years. I think Semi-Tough is one of the best football novels ever written and he has proven himself again and again to be a fine sports humorist. That said, Rude Behavior represents a pathetic shadow of Jenkins' former ability. The plot is trite, the dialog is laughable, the characters are shallow, and the book as a whole is just awful. It's hard to see someone I looked up to sink so low. I am embarrassed for Dan Jenkins.
