He's made a career out of blasting away at all things popular and awful and I LOVE it! His best work may have been Red Lobster White Trash and the Blue Lagoon. There's comedy in this world and then there's that book. NExt up is A Brief History of Everything by Bill Bryson. He's another writer I love.

I'm not sure how old he was, but somewhere in his late late teens or early 20s, he found out he was actually his mother's 5th child, not first. :/

Originally Posted By Pirate_Babe Yeah, I think that I will have to read those instead. I heard that those were very good and that Mirror Mirror and Lost were just marginal. I read The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons in about four days each, but then it took me about a month to read Deception Point by the same author. It was good, but not as good. Ya win some, ya loose some... PB

Originally Posted By Ursula Thank you. I just finished Shopaholic and Sister. I found that my fears were very keen. It was a silly premise, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. This is the fourth in the Shopaholic Series and it follows the wackiness of Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) as she returns from her whirlwind 10-month honeymoon. It seems her father had a tryst with a stewardess two years before her birth and spawned a sister. If you've read the first three books, you'd know how crazy this plotline seems, her father NEVER came across as that type of guy. Anyway, it's very light reading. I started it last night and finished it at work today. The charming end is tied up nice and neat as usual. I can get past the new sister, but I sure miss the shopping sprees and scenes including Becky's best friend Suze (who was nearly absent) from the earlier novels. I give it a B.
