Query: The Disaffections

Despite the glut of publicity and laudatory reviews, The Corrections is a dull, unimaginative story that certainly seems like Oprah fare. The characters come across as manipulated and utterly predictable. This book will be completely forgotten within a short time despite a likely movie version. Why is it that such mediocre narrative is the only thing pushed by the publishers? Oh yeah, they're all part of big corporations now.
