Title: Boring Life of the Idle Rich
Review: This is the worst book I have read in a long time. The last thing I want to immerse myself in is the life style of the super rich and clueless in modern Los Angeles, complete with a staff to provide special "health" diets, a personal trainer, meaningless meditation retreats, $100K cars, and an all-white sex palace on the Malibu coast. The addition of walk-on parts for Bob Dylan and Gerald Ford only makes it more unreal. Nor to I need an unbelievable series of disasters, from sink holes to collapsing houses to freeway kidnaps to a Los Angeles firestorm to try to inject some plot into this unfocused story. As a straight novel, it is a failure. Some reviewers call it a satire, and perhaps that is a redeeming perspective, but the cover blurbs take this weird tale with amazing solemnity.
Is the review positive or negative?
