Mad Men Writer Makes Short Novel , Is It Any Good ?
Matthew Weiner - Heather The Totality , Novel
I have read one star reviews and i can almost see why but i don't agree.
Matthew Weiner wrote Mad Men and lots of the Sopranos so i was always going to read this
Firstly this is short very short, you can easily read this in one sitting.
Without giving away the plot this is a story of 2 family groups , deliberately placed at opposite scales of the social spectrum but they have more in common than they would like to think as both families are dysfunctional. They are brought together by the daughter of the rich family and well any other information would give away the plot.
Why should you read this book , well the writing especially of the middle class family is pin sharp , i read sections out to my wife such was the humour and the sharpness of the work. , the second party in the book is less defined closer to stereotype but the book holds it together and avoids this trap (just)
The finale will annoy many but i didnt mind it seemed honest and real.
Highly recommended it is long enough to make its point and to tell a story which seems contemporary . You may not like it but i think that's a you problem
