Title: Kind of a Hack
Review: Gary Dobry is certainly a boxer. He also seems to have a gift for convincing people that he writes on par with Bukowski or Miller, when the truth is that he pales in comparison. A visit to his website shows that he trained Danny Bonaduce for the 'Celebrity Boxing Match' show on Fox a while back. How can someone write about artistic integrity and living the 'Continental Lifestyle' while nonetheless perpetuating CELEBRITY BOXING? Don't be fooled by the pseudo-artistic posturing. The fact is, Dobry's writing reflects his lack of originality. This book is dry, boring, and unoriginal.
