Query: Gossipy and Dull

What a disappointment! Having pre-ordered this book months in advance, and waited keenly by the letterbox for it to arrive, I have to confess I was heartily disappointed. It lacks any recognizable plot and is wholly composed of uninteresting and fragmentary second-hand gossip.After waiting so long for a follow-up, I now wish Berendt had waited longer, and found something actually worth writing about. I understand he was under pressure from the publishers to produce something, and it certainly shows.
