This is a non review of Frey's novel. It does not even come close to what a book review actually is.
Since you were obviously too lazy to actually read the book, you honestly can't say anything bad about.
For the record, the novel is an amazing piece of fiction. Yes it is a bit cliche, but Frey's style is sophisticated and clever. I am one to find pages, and pages of detail dull and useless, but this is not the case for this novel. The pages of details are actually interesting to read.
Ok, so if anyone reading this comment feels that reading Frey's novel is a waste of time, think again. Despite all the bad 'reviews' of the novel, let me just say that I could not put the book down. It is rare that I find a book that I cannot simply put it down. You will want to read this book, cover to cover in almost one sitting.
So, the point of my comment is to say that don't let a bad 'review' change your mind on which books to read. I think that a lot of critics have been quite harsh with Frey (with good reason). Nevertheless, the man did face consequences after the 'A Million Little Pieces' fiasco, and the past should not shy away readers from his newest piece of fiction. The novel is amazing, and certainly a page turner.
