★☆☆☆☆
Very poorly written
This story is badly framed between truth and fantasy, and fails at both. The writing is uneven, the story choppy and badly structured, amateurish. Sentences without verbs may work for Hemingway, but not in this frenetic , poorly written abomination. Claiming praise by John Updike, seven years after Updike died, is truly underhanded.
