Title: Bad fiction
Review: Mezrich is such a stupendously terrible writer, even if this stuff was true, you would never believe it the way he writes. His writing is lazy, unconsidered, and is absolutely RANK with the smell of embellishement and outright fabrication. There's simply no way to take writing this atrocious seriously; the fabrications and embellishments are so transparent, the mind boggles at how he got this sold as non-fiction.One last note: Mezrich never states that he changed names or places to protect anyone. According to the book, the protagonist was in the Weston, MA public school system until high school. I was in the Weston public school system at the same time; in fact, according to the chronology, Mr. Lewis was either in my class or the one below me. I have the yearbooks from Mr. Lewis' last years at Weston. He's not in any of them, not anywhere. If Mezrich changed his name, fair enough. If not, who on earth is this guy?
