Book Reviews of The Franchise Babe: A Novel

Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars

As an old Dan Jenkins fan, I found this one disappointing. His protanganist, a witty, sophisticated golf writer keeps lapsing into moronic red neck political commentary that is totally out of character for him. He includes a scene of a group of leftie's picketing against the FRENCH, as if that were some kind of liberal cause as opposed to a Bill O'Reilly obsession.

Aside from playing out his fantasies of animal magetism with the sexiest woman in sight, an understandable indulgence for an aging writer, a good bit of the plotting is predictable and boring.

Sorry to see such a weak effort from the old pro.
