How about that Bill Cunningham, huh?

Yeah, a real winner!

There is an outspoken radio personality from Cincinnati named Bill Cunningham who ended up with a nationally syndicated talk show (not as big as Montell or Springer, but similar). I kept thinking about him.

I like how each character has a backstory chapter and how those come later one by one. I really like Eleanor and the dynamics with her husband as I think that's relatable.

120 pages in. All I can say right now about characters: GET OUT OF HERE DOUG!! Haha. That guy just makes me angry. Greedy jerk.

I like Eleanor's back story too. I kept thinking, why would she be with a person like Doug!?

Yeah, I don't understand, either! I thought he was all right until all he could think about was the money. (view spoiler)[Also, outing out the personal lives of your wife and Scott to Bill Cunningham because you were upset ... really?! (hide spoiler)]

Guess money makes true colors shine!

I'm not sure if I dislike Doug or Bill more!

I think I disliked Doug more because he was a faker. At least Bill didn't try to hide his slimy side! (view spoiler)[(Well, maybe the phone tapping . . . but he wasn't ashamed to be found out!) (hide spoiler)]
