Title: A Derivative Work That Doesn't Succeed
Review: Other reviewers indicated that they laughed themselves silly over this book. I found Mr. Nancy's book to be mildly amusing at best, and generally tedious. Why? The secret to a successful book in this genre, as other authors such as Rosa and Novello have found, is to write silly letters that make the recipients swallow them hook, line and sinker, and respond with a letter thats almost as funny as the author's. Nancy doesn't have this talent. Many letters go without reply, or are answered with curt form letters. This makes the joke fall flat. We can all write stupid letters, but if we can't catch the victim in our trap what's the use? Don't waste your money on the second book in this series; instead go out and buy one of the other similar books by authors who know how to do the job properly.
