Title: writing - not bad, but who cares?
Product review: I really wanted to like this book. Really. I read some reviews, and it seemed to be just perfect. A horror story with humor, written in Mark Twain's style. Well, the writing is O'K. I have no clue if Twain would have liked the book, perhaps... I know I did not. Although written in lively language, and with sparks of humor now and then, it just tries too hard to be off-beat. Most of the ideas are simply uninteresting (cat purring in different languages). It somehow feels like recycled material sprinkled with a few jokes here and there. But the worst part was that I just did not care at all about the plot. Even if the book was mildly amusing, I could not force myself to keep on reading - I really did not care what happens next, and the book was not good enough to read on just for the pleasure of reading.
