[quote=""Ariadne""]I read your review but hadn't checked back to see the comments. I've been using Google Reader and have been missing too many comments that way. He does seem to have a good attitude about it. About the professor friend, I remember there was a co-author listed on Amazon UK, so that may solve that mystery. It looks like a breezy light read.

That review was garbled even for Harriet. Egad.[/quote]

I agree, it is a light easy read and will probably do well with that market. You know that isn't me though :o

Agree about Harriet. Have you seen what she did with the Lady's Slipper? Good god, she calls it a Historical THRILLER. :mad:

She also loses points for saying the phrases "chaos theory" and "Alice's adventures in wonderland." Lady's Slipper is suspenseful at times, but I wouldn't call it a thriller, no.

When Harriet is off the mark, she doesn't mess around. I am still trying to figure out the chaos theory comment. Probably never will :confused:
