Query: The reason white collar crime isn't interesting

Anyone who has read "Moo" or "A Thousand Acres" can attest to Jane Smiley's ability as a writer. Her plots are interesting, her characters enthralling and her writing as fluid as a warm country lake. "Good Faith" is a dog. An old, lazy dog. Not even Jane Smiley can turn the S&L scandal and a real estate deal into a lively, engrossing book. I never thought I'd skip pages in a Smiley book, but the last 60 pages of this book was so dull I wanted to gnaw off my limbs. The plot is hidden under a dusty quilt of minutiae and the characters are as insipid as those surrounding the Whitewater fiasco. If you haven't read Jane before -- don't read this one. Choose another because she has truly given us some of the best books ever written.
