Title: No, no, no, no, no
Review: Ayelet Waldman should stick to practicing law. As a writer, she's so obviously riding the coattails of her husband, Pulitzer winner Michael Chabon, that she's become a literary embarrassment. There are writing friends of mine who write FAR better than Ms. Waldman, but will their books ever get into print? Heck, no. In fact, it's highly doubtful they'll ever even land an agent. Did Waldman have any trouble selling her book? You can bet your sweet bippy she was ushered into the head honcho's office and plied with wine and jumbo shrimp - all the big guys aching to make nice over the wife of a justly famous man. The book itself deals with serious and important material, but Ayelet Waldman is not the writer who should be carrying this flag.Please, folks: don't waste your money. I gave it two stars for the content, but I wouldn't award even one star for the writing itself.
