Title: Kramer vs Kramer goes to England
Review: I'm not sure why but I did finish this book which is a complete rip off of Kramer vs. Kramer but without the heart. Tony Parsons' writing can be poignant at times but he seems too interested in making this a commercial success. There is much that is trite, cliched and has been done many times before. If you are rewriting a classic you need to do it with syle. Tony Parsons does not. The final scene with the girlfriend (and why he is so enamored with her is beyond my comprehension) is borrowed from The Graduate but it is unbelievable and ridiculous. There is a poignant scene with his son and his father in a hospital room that was the best thing about this book. This book annoyed the heck out of me. It is a mediocre effort at best.
Is the review positive or negative?
