Title: How much did Frank McCourt get paid to endorse this trash?
Review: It was bound to happen: readers stopped caring about the minutae of Maynard's thoroughly ordinary life. So she rolled out the big guns and scrapped together recollections of an ages-old and very brief pedophilic relationship with J.D. Salinger. That anyone even bought this book is a testimony not to Maynard's style or skill, but to the amazingly gifted reculsive Salinger's ability to still draw a crowd. I wish Picador had published his unreleased novel Hapworth 16, 1924 instead.
