Title: Confusing, sloppy writing
Review: I bought this book with a new interest in Janowitz's writing following the publication of Peyton Amberg. While on the holds list at the public library for Peyton, I decided to give her earlier works a try. This particular book was so horrible, just in the first few pages, that I don't think I'll waste time with anything else she's written. The story is non-existent, the characters are all the same and the tone is just silly. I couldn't tell if the narrator was drunk, but I definitely thought the writer was too shallow and patronizing to deal with. It didn't help that the author photo shows a prissy Janowitz standing in the middle of nowhere, rolling her eyes. Rolling her eyes at her own book, I think. I wouldn't recommend this insult to anyone!
