Book Reviews of Lush Life: A NovelBook Review: the gritty streets of New York Summary: 5 Stars
Book Review: this man taught writing at yale ?? and nyu ?? oh my lord - Summary: 1 Stars
i have never read a book with so many unlikeable characters- so many CLICHE characters -
the father of the victim in this book was downright HATE-able.
the only interesting character was the killer ... and he was a one dimensional cliche also-- i can imagin Price listening to his students trying to pick up the slang of the day. oh how pretentious for an rich white man to make the the dialogue of a inner city projects kids.
a total miss.
i will say- that price has done lots of research- but the details become a distraction- yes yes, you name all the streets in the lower east side as you drive by.. ( i know cause i work down there ) admirable mr Price- but unneccesary.
how this guy can be a teacher who taught writing at nyu and yale and colombia... frankly im shocked - its more like the writing of a fresh out of school kid from the suburbs trying to write "city cool" lad lit.
[...]
sorry to sound like a hater - i have no personal stake in slamming this guy. just my thoughts on the matter
