    Hey Joy...yes, it's THAT Jan :-) I had this on the TBR list but yuck, sounds like I can take it off. Thanks for the head's up.

    Not a big fan of paying and spending a couple of days reading someone else's complaining & whining? lol.

  3. I read a few pages and tossed it aside. Didn't even make a note of it on my blog as a DNF.

  5. Just had to say "thanks" for the laugh! This one hadn't made my TBR list...and now I know it never will.

  6. Appreciate your review. Every once in awhile it's nice to read a review that doesn't prompt me to add the book to my list.

  7. Jan ~ It's nice to see you here. :) I don't understand the good reviews. They've got to be Roth fans and will accept anything from him. ???

    Carrie K ~ It's definitely not worth the time and it's a short one!

    Les ~ Oh Les...you could have saved me! :)

    3M ~ We are on the same page.

    Debi & Booklogged ~ Glad to have helped. :)
