Title: Not that funny
Review: I was expecting a laugh-out-loud book, but this book is not that funny or witty. The plot is obviously far-fetched -- a garderner becomes a media hero -- but it doesn't matter because implausibility can be great tool for humor. However I thought the author Kosinski didn't really go after this plot, the possibilities were great but there's not enough biting sarcasm . I think the problem is this book was written in the 70's, long before the current Ironic Age, so the whole thing comes off as pretty tame now.
Is the review positive or negative?
