Title: People of taste- save yourselves!!
Review: The only thing clever about this book is the title. Because I have some faith in humanity, I'd like to believe that it would never be published were it not a roman a clef about a certain, famously difficult person. Miss Weisberger's characters are shallow, unlikeable, and one-dimensional contrivances who speak in horrible, wooden dialogue. The plot is a basic one which has been done many times to better effect by actual, talented writers. You cannot convince me that the author has any talent for observing human behavior as she produced no evidence of it in this, the worst book I've ever read. I never thought I'd be able to bestow that dubious superlative on another book since the day I read two chapters of Flowers in the Attic and threw it across the room in disgust, but V.C. Andrews is Leo Tolstoy compared to Lauren Weisberger. The NY Times was right in writing not one, but two reviews condemning this piece of trash.
Is the review positive or negative?
