Title: The nut falls far, far from the tree
Product review: The one star is for the illustrations; they're pleasant enough, maybe just this side of average.Unfortunately, they accompany a story that could only have been published pulling the strings of one's famous grandfather. The tone verges on babytalk, and the story talks of immature love as well - boy meets girl, boy cheats on girl, girl takes boy back because . . . because?One reviewer gushes over the novelty of a lead character named "Pierre". I require a leetle more from my reading than quaintly-named characters. And as to the one-star rating belying my empty, pathetic, romanceless state - I promise to go over to Laurie Colwin's books and grant them all the 4- and 5-stars they deserve.Finally, for whimsical prose accompanied by clever line drawings that succeed together to create a romantic whole, see Brian Andreas' "Mostly True" or any of his other books.
