Query: So Disappointing

What may be perceived as topical edginess does not equal entertainment. These stories each have several things in common, most notably that they proceed in an obvious manner, focusing upon the desperation of the characters and the clear motives for this desperation. Ultimately they go nowhere. This book isn't terrible. Its pedestrian. That said, I would rather be angered enough to put something down than simply lulled to a dead end while waiting to be stirred. This book is simply boring.
