Wow! The whole bloated book must be as crappy as the excerpt after all. Sounds like ATD may be a bigger dud than M&D and Vineland combined. ATD may be Ruggles Hindenburg moment. (I mean the movie).

PS. But keep in mind that Marianne Wiggins was married to Salman Rushdie who gave Vineland a rave review on page 1 of the NYTBR in the long ago. Maybe Marianne W. is getting back at Salman via Ruggles because droopy-eyed Salman married that super-hot model with the lame Food Network show. Maybe.
