Berating the Remains of Henry James

From Erin Miller:

"A review of "The Ambassadors", Henry James, found on Goodreads.com. Several interesting things to note here: first, "Hemmingway" recommended the novel--seriously. If this was in fact Ernest, I can only imagine that took place at Sloppy Joe's in Key West after a night of vodka shots. Secondly, this may have launched a new category: the 'This Book was so Bad I'm going to Go Berate the Author's Remains.'"

T rated it: 1 of 5 stars

Has a copy to sell/swap — Read in October, 2008
recommended to T by: Hemmingway (seriously!)
recommends it for: bourgeois intercontentals
Far, far too much punctuation, thus ruining this read. Twenty pages and it was tossed away. The ashes of Henry James are interned in Cambridge, just around the corner, so I'll stop by to ask him why he ruined a good story with poor storytelling.
