Well, it kept my attention. I don't know that I agree with the comments on the covers. The NY Times called it hilarious, for me thats a stretch, it was amusing, but I wouldn't say hilarious. Without giving away the plot, I spent a lot of time annoyed at Dolores for being a victim throughout the book instead of a survivor. I wanted to shake her and scream, "Didn't you learn anything from what you've been through?" I found parts predictable and I had no problem accepting the book was written by a man. I felt a woman writer would have taken a slightly different perspective with certain elements.

Sending this out in my Potluck Bookbox. I'd love to hear other people's opinions about this book. Happy travels little book.

This book stopped here for a short visit in Woodstock, Georgia. It is still travelling in TaleofGenji's Potluck Bookbox.

I have read this book before, it's a really good story!

Returned home in my Potluck Bookbox.
