"Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them." – Albert Einstein

The Star review.

Oh. My.

This was, by far, the most amusing Train Wreck, I think I have ever read.  And I have a confession to make.

I read the first third forward.  I read the last 2/3 of the book backwards from the ending.

And it really made no difference whatsoever.

Now, my undergraduate years are well behind me, but I do have a liberal arts education.   And, as I recall, one of the parts of a novel is the plot.  And a plot is defined as having:

  1. A motivating force or inciting incident
  2. Complications to the resolution
  3. Climax, or resolution
  4. Anticlimax
  5. Conclusion

Now.  I am pretty sure that at least one of those plot elements are missing.  Or misplaced.  Or something.  But, I guess maybe, it’s just how you interpret the terms “climax” and “anticlimax”.  Okay, I know.  Bad me.

The phrase “A Novel”?  Used a bit loosely here.

The verdict?  Diverting enough, but I can’t say I don’t want those few hours of my life back.

    ha..ha..ha…. you used the right word…a “bookl” by Pam Anderson and “climax” in the same review. Yep….that’s the gist of it all. 🙂
