Title: Glad I'm not the only one who didn't like it...
Review: I logged on to see if I was the only reader who did not like this book, or wondered why it was nominated for a National Book Award. I'm glad to see most readers share my two-star views. While I was impressed by Stone's vast knowledge, I found the book clunkily written and difficult to get through. My biggest problem was that I simply did not believe in the characters at all (particularly Sonia and Raz). Does anyone use that kind of hipster lingo anymore? Like Don Delillo, Stone is a demanding writer; unlike Delillo he does not reward with the same level of beauty in his prose.
Is the review positive or negative?
