Title: Terribly shallow
Review: This book is terrible. I think whoever wrote the book jacket copy was doing James St. James a terrific favor. I wasn't even mildly amused. And for such a gruesome and terrible murder JSJ certainly doesn't seem capable of writing of it with anything apporaching intelligence, compassion, or even real understanding. JSJ struggles to keep Alig's actions as the subject when all he wants to do is focus on himself and since he's not that interesting or funny the book doesn't work on any level. And the use of different type settings is just an attempt to make the book seem more interesting or rule breaking than it is.
Is the review positive or negative?
