[quote=Anonymous]How do publishers decide to promote mediocre books so heavily? This book is everywhere right now - they clearly sent a lot of early copies out and then made a BOTM deal. It's front and center at lots of bookstores. From the NYTimes review: [QUOTE]I wish Moore had painted the reprehensible Van Laars with more nuance; villains are better when we can see ourselves in them, after all. A few red herrings fall away without resolution, and there are some less-than-convincing details. Would an adolescent from Albany, no matter how sophisticated, really be into punk rock in the summer of 1975, a year before the Ramones released their first album and the Sex Pistols put out their first single? Would an old New York family like the Van Laars, with all the ancestral prejudices that implies, really be so entangled, personally and professionally, with the Irish Catholic McLellans?[/QUOTE][/quote]
