Review title: Shame on Simon & Schuster
Product review: I would say, "Shame on Susan Cheever," but it's not her fault she can't write. It may not even be her fault that she can't recognize that she can't write. But in making this book available, her publisher has done something rotten to readers and writers alike. Guilty, too, are the folks who supplied blurbs ("this is what Fitzgerald would sound like if he was writing today"...or something like that) and the reviewers who lacked the guts to tell the truth. Jeez, even the famously grumpy Kirkus handed this book an approving review! Like many others, I give this book no stars. Please allow us to tell the truth, Amazon. Get rid of the one-star minimum.
