Negative Positive
Title: like the title & that's about it
Review: Well, the good news is that there is one movie I can cross off my list of potential DVDs to rent. This book is awful. I checked it out after reading that the author's style was similar to that of David Sedaris. Ummm.......NOT! It's just not funny at all & on top of that, it appears to be a bunch of hogwash as (according to recent press reports) the family of the pyschiatrist has successfully sued Sony over the movie & a lawsuit against the author & the publisher is still pending. That isn't surprising because it seemed like a lot of the story was 'embellished' for effect. Like putting lipstick on a pig, if you ask me. Even as a work of fiction, it wouldn't work (for me) because there wasn't a single character in the book that I liked or cared about & that included the author himself. My advice would be to spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
Is the review positive or negative?
