Review: Not what I was expecting.

With all the great reviews and a mention by Darynda Jones who is a favourite author of mine as I love her books, I had to give this one a go. I am always reluctant to say anything negative in a review but I am sad to say that for me it just did not deliver. I kind of felt like the author tried too hard at times. With all the snarky repartee and superstar look-a-likes like Oprah (but with a potty mouth)I felt it was just too much and while I am not adverse to constant swearing, I thought it detracted from the story. Overall I did like the book and some parts made me laugh but it was such a big departure from the books I usually read and I have never read anything by this author before. Having said that, not every book you read will be your "cup of tea" but I did persist and finish the story and it is good to expand your boundaries from time to time.
