Query: A HUGE Disappointment

Mr. Connelly is a gifted writer, and I'm a big fan of his novels (I've read all of them). That being said, I have to express my disgust with this "book".I bought it because it was by Connelly, and was hoping for some background on his writing life and perhaps to see the development of the writer I've come to love.Sadly, it's nothing but a mishmash of disconnected stories, most of which aren't even interesting. I used to hold the opinion that even mediocre Connelly would be better than the best of most other authors, and I've been proven wrong.This book is a ripoff, cashing in on Connelly's name and reputation, and he and the publisher should both be ashamed.
