Review title: This book is self-absorbed, sloppy, and profoundly ugly.
Product review: Susan's Cheever's surname seems to have blinded most of the professional reviewers to the true nature of this book. The tone is whining adolescent, the prose is appalling, when it isn't incomprehensible, and her "insights" beggar description. It is sloppy and trivial, and reveals the author's true nature much more clearly than she realizes. Her self-absorption is perfect. She seems to feel she is a wonderful person who was led astray by alcohol. Quite obviously, she is a dreadful person who behaves even worse when she is drunk. Her accounts of her various marriages and love affairs make quite clear her total indifference to the anguish she has caused in her single-minded pursuit of happiness. Perhaps the reviewers read a different book?
