Query: disappointing

i bought this after an excellent review on NPR. last time i'll do that. while there's nothing wrong with the prose, there's nothing especially inspiring about it either. my biggest complaint is not specific to Johnson. i'm sick of books about stupid characters. maybe there are so many such books because it's easier to get stupid people into trouble, but frankly, my dear, i'm BORED.
