532. An American Tragedy (Theodore Dreiser)

"Keen Eddie" being dropped for "The O. C." -- now that's an American tragedy

Synopsis from Amazon Canada:
A story of a poor boy whose ambition for wealth and social prestige leads him to commit murder.

My rating: 1 star

My review: Boringest. Book. Ever. Seriously. I've started this book about five times over the course of ten years -- every time I've fallen asleep before the end of the first chapter. I've learnt my lesson (though it took me a while) and won't bother anymore.
