Review: Awesome Spoofiness
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 5, 2012
I've never read a spoof novel before, but I know there are a lot out there. If I remember correctly, most of them rip off the over popular books like Harry Potter. Jones' book spoofs every romance book ever written and throws in some Twilight just to be safe. Every page had me laughing at one of the sentences; it was spot on! My poor Dave couldn't get any of his Laurel K Hamilton read as I found a need to read excerpts to him at regular intervals.I wanted to throttle the so-called heroine, Smella, but I'm quite sure that was the point. She was a gorgeous airhead who couldn't remember the name of her dying baby while claiming she was a virgin. None of the men were painted as the perfect men except for some of the unnamed cowhands near the beginning of the book. I liked the cover you find on Amazon (large bare chested man wearing just a kilt) versus the one here on Goodreads (were gerbil).I'll have to read Jones' other novels when I want a good giggle. She's entertaining and writes a story that you'll find very hard to put down.
