Title: How To Abuse Your Wife Without Even Trying
Product review: Author Shapiro presents a new kind of husband: the involuntary wife abuser. Dennis is so physically clumsy that he cannot help falling on top of, and dumping heavy objects on his poor spouse. She suffers various injuries as a result of their numerous, undesired physical skirmishes, and she finally decides that the only way out of this situation is to kill her husband. After all she can't even have sex with the man without fearing for her life. She decides on murder; changes her mind. She flees; then returns. Various events of Dennis's past life now become known, and once again should murder be an option?The novel does parallel a spousal abuse situation, but in sort of an upside down way. Shapiro tries something risky in writing about all of this: she makes the situation hilariously funny. She succeeds, and delivers a highly entertaining black comedy.
