Title: What the hell is this all about?
Review: The first 60 pages are spectacular! Then it goes downhill from there. I could not finish this book. I stopped at page 181 and couldn't go on. I have read a few other reviews here and agree with those who did not like it. It is bascially a bunch of unconnected stories that do not have any sense of purpose or narrative for that matter. I couldn't care less about the characters and cared even less about what they were talking about. A condom factory?! Why was that put in there? Can anyone explain this to me? I returned the book back to the bookstore and picked up "Lloyd What Happened" by Stanley Bing and a baseball book by Yogi Berra. If I want to know what REALLY happened to baseball in the '50's I'll listen to Yogi.
Is the review positive or negative?
