Review title: I'm a librarian and can't recommend this to anyone.
Product review: I wanted to like this book, since I am a fan of Roald Dahl, J.K. Rowling, and other authors in that vein, however this book is VERY poorly written. Besides the forced humor and self-conscious attempt to be clever, the plot is cumbersome and trite, the characters generally unappealing, and the premise (while an interesting one)is not well developed. Also, the idea of a 14 year old girl marrying a much older man who is her legal guardian and her relation is disturbing PLUS the author felt the need to describe her thoughts of sleeping with this man after their married! Tacky, at best. If you e-mail any comments to the address on the dustjacket of this book, you will receive an auto-reply which does not address specific questions. Save your money and buy a Dahl or Rowling or another worthy author other than this one.
