Query: Why all the interviews?

I received the book as a gift and eagerly anticipated reading it after hearing a blitz of Dowd interviews on Charlie Rose, npr and other talk shows. I was disappointed with the level of writing, the depth of the thought process and the general whining. The Sunday Times magazine presented a good short article on the subject by Dowd, but this never deserved more than a few pages. Deadly. Didn't Rose and NPR even read the book? What were they thinking?
