Review title: Not for me, thanks--
Product review: The poorly titled book is described as "a brawling, barrel-chested novel full of irreverent humor and outrageous characters and situations." Well, no. McGuane was once an interesting writer. No more. Now he's a brawling, barrel-chested novelist full of -- oh, nevermind. Find something interesting from his early work, or better, go back to James M. Cain's SERENADE, which has nothing in common with this effort but is infinitely more interesting and satisfying.
