Kate (Ogdensburg, NY)

Lookaway, reader
I found this book to be disturbing in so many ways. The women in the book are portrayed as despicable in so many different ways, none of which I found to be humorous. I was reminded of the words of Dan Ackroyd to Jane Curtain on Saturday Night Live where he called her "Jane, you ignorant slut." The author had no better opinion of the men and I found their characters to be at least as unconvincing as the women. The humor did not rise to the level of sophistication of the usual SNL skit and the writing was cliched. The best advice I could give a reader is contained in the title. Lookaway, lookaway.
