Title: College kid writes first book-results are poor
Review: Their are a few major flaws to this book which I believe the writter will be able to rectify in his subsequent works, if their are any. The most annoying is his incessent usage of verbose vocabulary, he used to big of words. Being a graduate of Oxford University and the son of two english professors, this is understandable, however, Mr. Fussell should have realized that the great majority of the population would have no idea what he was talking about in many cases unless they wanted to carry a dictionary with them as they read. Another problem I had was the portrayal of the various character in the book. They seem to be very "cartoonish" - with behaviors and mannorisms one would only find in some make-believe land. Those are the two biggest complaints, if you want more, I think my mail address is posted with this review.
