Query: Wish This Book Weren't Here

How bad does a book have to be for a person to spend his time giving it a one-star review years after he read it? "Wish You Were Here" is the book, and the answer is real bad. I've read my share of books for which no tree should have ever been sacrificed, but this one stands out. One reviewer suggested reading the first page and the last page, nothing more. I agree. There is nothing of value in this book. There is no central plot. Nothing of interest happens. Sure, the attention to detail is precise - about 454 pages worth, if I recall - but that doesn't make a novel. As a literary exercise, it might have some merit for the writer, but the reader would be better off reading the tags on every item of clothing they own. Avoid this book, and if it is forced upon you, gouge your eyes out.
