Title: Not the worst book I've read this year
Product review: I was looking for something light-hearted and this book lived up to that expectation. It gets off to a slow start though and the characters are not so interesting and pretty shallow. There are several bad puns and references to recent popculture weaved through the predictable storyline. I'm a little over half way through and having trouble picking it up -- that never happens. If you think a farmer naming his cows Britney and Jennifer after Spears and Lopez is sweet, you might enjoy it more. I just finished the Corrections before this. It was not lighthearted but it was funny and engaging. This book reminds me of the disappointing 8 O'Clock Tuesday (or something similar and not memorable) that my book club read last summer. It is a "sweet" book though and some may enjoy it for that alone.
