Review title: Crumley's gone sour
Product review: The Right MadnessI loved earlier Crumley novels such as "The Last Good Kiss," but he seems to have lost the detachment and sense of humor that made his scathing asides entertaining. Now his narrator's world is full of things he loathes and despises; you wonder why he lives there.Meanwhile, the narrator's friends are all super-hip, earthy, lusty and improbably talented. I'm afraid it reads like the sort of story a high-school kid might write in which he fantasizes about running with the cool kids, only in his imaginary high school his cool kid friends are all superheroes.
