Wow. If only books matched the reviews of people who were paid to write them. Not the case with this book. I honestly have not liked any of Eugenides books but this one is dreadful. Boring, pompous, and pointless. Written for people with an English PhD with no sense of the real world around them. Dripping with superfluous language and name dropping of authors and literary works that only those who have studied literature and English extensively will understand. Characters are boring and pointless as is the plot, or lack thereof, of this book.
