Review title: Snooze
Product review: I picked up The Man of My Dreams because, like other reviewers, I loved Prep. But I found myself quitting this one about halfway through. The plot is nearly identical to that of Prep, but Hannah doesn't have the same kind of depth as Lee Fiora does. Hannah's depressive mopiness got to me at times, and I found myself thinking, "who cares?" It was almost as though Sittenfeld had taken the characters of Prep, changed their names, and made them older. Sittenfeld vehemently denies that her writing is chick lit, but there's definitely a chick lit feel to her books--with, of course, the depressed teenager/ twentysomething.In all, this was a highly disappointing book because the author has so much talent as a writer, but very little creativity to create new characters outside of those that she knows. If you liked Prep, don't say I didn't warn you about The Man of My Dreams. It's just not up to what Sittenfeld put out the first time around.
