Review: A writer's Notes- Not a Prequel
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is certainly not a polished brief introduction to the other books in this series.  It is not even a rough draft and should be viewed as preliminary thoughts the writer has about her characters and the leitmotifs she will develop and intertwine in her furture works.If one were to read this and think that it is demonstrative of the writer's craftsmanship, then I feel that such a person would be reluctant to persue the works further.  Rather it is a curiousity in that it points to the trend that will be developed in future e.g. obsession with brands, fashion etiquette, city night life, and the eternal quest for romance in the big city.  Those who wish to write should read this to see how poorly expressed ideas can germinate it polished story telling.  Why this was released as a "prequel" causes me to ponder about the stratagems of the publishing world.
