Gin Lane (Gin Lane)

Rating:
Summary: All I can say is BORING
Review: My title says it all. This book was really, really boring.

Rating:
Summary: Shallow, pretentious, boring
Review: This book is as shallow, pretentious, and boring as the characters it portrays. We already know James Brady is friendly with celebrities, but who cares? This is not storytelling -- it's name dropping. I expected much more from a "best-selling" author.

Summary: Little plot, but, after all, it is a beach read
Review: This book really doesn't have much of a plot--much less than others in Brady's Hamptons series, but it is still interesting. It is designed to be a beach read and required minimal effort to understand it. I read it with this in mind, and found it interesting. It's the story of an offensive radio personality who has come to ultra-snobby Gin Lane and the various attempts to kill him. That's it, plotwise, but the dry humor and interesting, if shallow, characters are enough to carry this lightweight novel, if you view it as such: a lightweight novel.
