Title: Why Write like This?
Review: I may be too high-brow or too critical, but I kept wondering why anyone would spend time writing this, no less reading it. "In Fidelity" is full of pseudo-wisdom and half-truths, is very busy manipulating the reader--which made me wonder about the writer. Where is the pleasure in recieved ideas and two-dimensional, at best, characters, and with a plot that never soars, but plods. All the seams are showing and yet this book gets much attention. Can someone tell me why? If we want potboilers or sexy one dimensional stories, there are far juicier bad writers.
Is the review positive or negative?
