Review title: Read something else...
Product review: One needs to judge popular fiction with lower standards than great literature. Even so, this book is bad - really, really bad.The plot is predictable, to the extent that I spent much of my time playing "let's guess what happens next". The dialogue...well, no real people I know talk like the characters in this novel. And Dr. Segal couldn't write a realistic female character if his life depended on it (not that he does such a great job with the male characters).There is a "Forest Gump"ishness to the book with the occasional dropping in of famous people. I suppose that they are famous prevents them from sueing.Why did I read this? It's required summer reading for my daughter (may god have mercy on her soul).
