1.0 out of 5 stars Too Many Factual Errors Plus An Annoying Ending, July 12, 2000

By

This review is from: Such a Pretty, Pretty Girl: A Novel (Hardcover)

This book contains some simple factual errors that make one doubt the concentration of both author and editor. For example, on page 131 the arithmetic is all wrong. The original payment to the service was $180 per hour and Delia got $60 of that. The subsequent direct payments to Delia's post office box were $50 per hour, which is certainly not 3 times $60 as stated. Seems she actually gave herself a cut in pay, which might also be appropriate for the author/editor. The suspense of waiting until the end of the book for revelation of 'what Delia did' kept me interested through some rather repetitious and boring episodes. However - there was no revelation! The secret was never revealed to the poor sucker reading the book. I was annoyed by this at the time, and still am a day later. I can only be grateful that I got this book from the library and didn't spend any money on it.

This review is from: Such a Pretty, Pretty Girl: A Novel (Hardcover)

As many have already said, this book is just plain bad. Right from the beginning it was a big bore. Not a page-turner for me. I stopped reading about a quarter of the way through. So happy I didn't pay for it (library)!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Garbage, April 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Such a Pretty, Pretty Girl: A Novel (Hardcover)

This book is not worth reading, not worth carrying home from the store, and not worth the money I paid. How could anyone enjoy a book without a single likeable character.
