Review of 'The great American novel' on 'Goodreads'

Terrible

I came to this having thoroughly enjoyed A Plot Against America. I picked this book up and read three pages, fell in love with Smitty, and bought the book... only to find that the charm of the intro never came back and we saw very little of the one character worth caring about. Very nearly DNF
