I wanted so badly to like Smith's second novel The Autograph Man. However,half way through the novel it was becoming more and more difficult to convince myself, that the novel would turn around. Two reasons I decided to give this book one star:(1) Alex Li-Tandem's character wasn't developed enough, to even make the reader care about his trail of destruction.(2)The book simply wasn't humerous, and I expected humor, after reading White Teeth which I loved.I know Smith is coping and trying deal with the themes of celebrity in her sophomore novel, but she she has come up short with the Autograph Man.
