Reviews

[Judy Brunner · Rating 2 out of 5]

More or less a waste of paper and print. Read a bit and then zapped to the end.

[Kiri Mccurdy · Rating 3 out of 5]

An easy quick read once I managed to really sit down and read. Humourous and entertaining but without any depth, which was all I was looking for.

Entertaining, but not her best book, too lightweight
