Review title: 2 Stars is Generous
Product review: I really wanted to like this book. I tried to like it. I bought it because of the blips comparing it to "Confederacy of Dunces" (which is absurd) and also because it does have a pretty interesting "this looks to be entertaining" premise.However, it was a frustrating one to get through. A few reasons: the main character is impossible to like (he spends most of the time whining...it gets old), most of the other characters are equally annoying and stereotypical, the wannabe-witty dialogue is anything but, and, worst of all, you just can't shake the notion that it could be pretty good.
