The Dud Avocado by Elaine Dundy

3.0

---

I went to a movie once, and watched a dumb girl make a long series of bad decisions. This book is a bit like that. People make a big deal out of this book being one of the 'undiscovered treasures' of American literature. While I enjoyed it, and it was a smart, snappy little read, I failed to find it hilarious or particularly sympathetic. Get your stuff together, Sally Jay Gorce. You'd be more interesting if you were a little less oblivious and self-absorbed.
