Double Fault by Lionel Shriver

3.0

All this book was lacking was a good edit. The story is great, the writing is fantastic; but it reads like a first draft. Too much telling of stuff we already know from more subtle sources, too much expository, too much story creation on the page.

It's too bad this book didn't get the same heavy editorial hand that Shriver's excellent "The Post Birthday World" must have, because I really wanted this sports-driven book to be just as excellent.
