Review: 16%.  Set aside, probably for good
Rating: 1 out of 5

I stopped reading at 11%, tried again until 14%, now I'm at 16%, she tripped over her gown going down the stairs and landed at his feet, and I've given up.  But I'm not sorry I bought the book - on a free promotion - because I LOVED the old cover.  I just noticed the new cover and that's what prompted me to put in my review.  The OLD cover caught my eye and even if the listed rating was a 1-star book instead of the misleading 5-stars, I would have bought it just so I could own that cover.  I hesitate to put in a harsh review, maybe some day I'll try again (I doubt it) and if I ever change my mind, I'll try to edit this review but for now I own the old cover and I'm happy about that.  I have an early Kindle and if and when it dies and I have to transport all my books, I want the old cover to transport, not this new one.  Now for what's inside the cover.  There are glaring historical inaccuracies, and Penelope's stream of consciousness thinking never ever stops.  She can't walk across a room without tripping over something.  If you love the Three Stooges, you'll probably love this book.  If not, well. . .
