Title: Sweet Mind Candy
Review: What a fun book to read! Unlike his signature work, A Time to Kill, the moral ambiguity inherent in these characters presents very little challenge to the reader. There is nobody to really like in the story. All the characters are more concerned with their own little scams and secrets--even when some of the scams have global proportions.It's nice to read a book, to be amused by the antics of the characters, but not to be emotionally hooked in to anybody's wellbeing. I rarely find a book like that. It wasn't that I didn't care--I was very curious as to how things would resolve. But this book is really a story about people who have compromised themselves so badly that it's tough to really care whether they succeed at their plots (although I kinda wanted some of them to), or whether they get screwed.The perfect book to sandwich between reading deep, emotionally provocative material, or to insulate one heavy tome on a ponderous subject from the next.Fast. Lite. Fun.
