Review title: little more than in-phrases and product placement references
Product review: A really disappointing effort. basically the book had no plot at all. A series of quasi-related subplots which went nowhere, and with various of the substories or themes just drifting off and disappearing. A reader would have no particular sustained interest in any of the major characters, all of whom are beautiful, talented, brilliant, wealthy and otherwise fundamentally quite secure in their privilege. I had hoped for an effort in the nature of Tom Wolfe, with the occasional line that might make you laugh out oud, but was sorely let down. Its one of those books where you realize half-way through that its actually not going pick up from there and turn into something that you will find engaging.
