Title: Comedy is toughest
Review: As almost anyone connected to theatre knows, comedy is the most demanding. Many top comedians make it as serious actors, but few do it the other way around.Cornwell has not proven herself to be a good comedic writer. I couldn't take more than 44 pages of Southern Cross, before I thought to open up my computer to find out if I was marching to a different drum. I have too many other good authors awaiting me, and at 67, I don't think I should waste time on more of this book. I hope Cornwell gets back to what she does so much better. As a former arts/entertainment writer, I frequently told painters that writers had the good sense to toss bad stuff into the garbage. I guess Cornwell can't (or doesn't want) to do that with stuff nicely stored in her Macintosh.
