How on earth did the editor let that pass? How can a book with such a glaring error be touted as one of the 10 best books of the year by the NY Times book review? Or perhaps I should be asking, why does this bother only me?
My god, was this book overhyped. I was so looking forward to it, and then found that its distinctive "voice" was just a bunch of irritating, unjustified tics, wrapped around a derivative "The Secret History"-type plot that the author didn't even have the courage to commit to -- the ending is a complete cop-out.
