Little Children by Tom Perrotta.
I picked it up because I loved Election and wanted to read more of his work. Also, I don't read a lot of adult novels because I'm a teen librarian, and I need to expand my reader's advisory repertoire.
Eh.
Some of his wit is still there, but I was dissatisfied by the ending. Overall, I thought he was dealing with too many characters and didn't get the chance to really develop any of them well...or maybe that was the point, to show how shallow they all were.
