Wow...just wow, is all I could think as I read "The Cellist". I could go on and on about his elementary school pupil style of narrative and disconnected plot, but need not bore you with numerous examples. Most disappointing was his disparaging on-going commentary on today's political climate, which had nothing to do with the plot. Thank goodness I borrowed this book from the library and didn't purchase it! I would give this book negative stars if that was an option. He's definitely lost me as a future purchaser and reader. Pure drivel!
