Review title: TRADING ON HER PAST REPUTATION
Product review: I picked up this book on an impulse, not having read anything by the author before, and therefore I did not have any pre-conceived idea of what I was going to find. As it turned out I was very disappointed, mainly because the writer is so self-indulgent. That's to say, she's written for her own satisfaction, and lost sight of the need to hold her readers' attention. She constantly tells us that this is a book about story-telling. Funnily enough, that's why people buy books. It's like the packs of frozen food you buy, which have a picture on the front captioned "Serving Suggestion" that shows the contents on a plate. Which is not a bad metaphor, since I note from other reviews that some of this book's contents has been regurgitated from previous offerings, and served up again.
