Just finished reading the book that I wrote in the title. First work I'm reading by Peter Cameron. It was a nice pick up read but it seemed to not go anywhere. I've been told it's like The Catcher in the Rye but I no longer see Salinger's books as I once did. Rich kids that are not happy with their lives seems more like petty spoiled brats than insightful literary tales. It's just out there for me. It's just so cliche nowadays.
Lame = rich, white kids.
Don't get me wrong. The voice of the protagonist was smooth and the chapters draw you into the world and point of view of his novel but knowing it's about a wealthy Brown University bound 18 year old that lives in posh Manhattan seems too much of a stretch. I've been down this particular road.
