Negative Positive
Title: Hype Only
Review: After writing "White Teeth," (which I highly recommend) Zadie Smith has not come close to a satisfying read.The plot of "On Beauty" is unoriginal -- how many times have we read about middle aged professors sleeping around, with the "good" wife and hip kids -- puhleese!The main charcters are uninteresting, and the writing is just OK.When the cover of a book has the author's name in type 5 times larger than the title, watch out!Waste of time.
