Title: Just Plain Bad.
Review: The main character of the book describes himself as not too bright, not very perceptive, and having a poor sense of what is going on. Unfortunately this person is actually telling us the story. Having a narrator who has no powers of description, limited intelligence, little grasp of punctuation, and no clue how to structure a story makes for a really bad book. I have been a Simpson's fan for years and had high hopes for the book, but, really, it's annoying trying to follow the senseless meanderings of a random idiot. None of the characters are developed at all, the plot is really weak, the writing is bad and sloppy. Worst of all the narrator doesn't understand what's going on. Anyone else see the huge problem there? The author should have. Disappointing.
