Review: Weirdly Different but Strangely Interesting
Rating: 4 out of 5

I'm not the kind of reviewer that will talk about the plot of the book unless it's absurd and then I go to town on the absurd, usually formulamatic robo books that flood amazon these days and that's what I thought this book might be.  There was some silliness to it regarding Sebastian's penchant for naming the women in his little black book after cartoon characters so the book opens with a ménage scene between Sebastian, Wilma and the forever giggling Betty.  I'm thinking I'm ready to click on the refund button but I kept an open mind.  Sebastian wants what Everyman is looking for, Jessica Rabbit and he has yet to find her, until one day he finds her in his club, working for him.  Our heroine Roz aka Jessica is a truly beaten down heroine, I mean this girl is straight out of a Danielle Steel novel.  And, of course, she's a virgin...I mean aside from the girls on MTV's Teen Moms series who isn't still a virgin?  This book was good only because of Sebastian...he was complex, confusing, off putting at times and once his vulnerability wall started cracking became a great hero in this book.  The weird bend to this book was his friend Vick(ie).  The authors missed an opportunity to flesh her out a bit more, it is in this character that the editors missed their mark.  I really don't want to give anything away but Vick needed a bit more details, maybe a couple of pages that would make her seem more than some random reference on the pages of the book.  I also wish this book was longer, maybe shorten the time between THE END and THE EPILOGUE.  I think there was another book in there and I would have read it.  Instead the author's just fast forward and ties up the story with the pretty bow instead of expanding on the story.
