Title: A good idea gone bad
Review: Surprisingly unfunny, this awkwardly written book takes a concept that's rich on paper but quickly--very quickly--goes nowhere in Rothman's unskilled hands. That's due in large part to his flat, disinterested prose, and, in even larger part, to his curious lack of sympathy or empathy for his neighbors who he seems to see as punchlines rather than people. Like Rothman, one never forgets at any point that he's conducting an experiment for the sole purpose of turning it into a book; he never rises above that objective or attempts to understand his subjects, or himself, any better. What could have been a funny, insightful, instructive read instead stands as a flat and unfunny series of observations.On the other hand, it's still a great idea for a book--or a movie--just not one written by Rodney Rothman.
