Sarcasm to the brim. I stumbled upon Ms. Zafra's book due to a blog I read a few years back. One of the most prolific writers I encountered, the author's writing style is both witty and sardonic. Highly recommended for those who want some serious depth in their reading experience.

May favorite catch line, “...democaracy is wasted on the ignorant.”
