Title: Pretentious and tedious
Review: This is one of those tedious self-published books that, fortunately, will never reach an audience much beyond the author's close friends and acquaintances.It isn't any good. It's too long and it's over-written. It reads like Kraft's Amazon review of his own book (posted here at the time I write this): confusing, pointless, and not at all funny. There is throughout a sort of painful striving after humor that drives the reader to a lot of cringing. There is also throughout a great deal of pointless obfuscatory language, which was perhaps meant to substitute for plot. It's not clever but you have the sense Kraft really, really wanted it to be.
Is the review positive or negative?
