Title: No adventures here, only snoozes.........
Review: I really wanted to love this book and have been trying to figure out why I didn't; why I wanted to fling it into a pit of fire. Content-wise it told me all about Jerry to the nth degree. In a trite, trivial voice! Oh, it could have been a contender. It could have been wonderful because the follow-a-manager-for-a-year angle is cool. But the problem is Ms. Baker doesn't know how to tell an exciting story, a story with moments and dialogue and emotion. Instead, she transcribes facts! The pacing is turtle-slow, and the writer tries far too hard to be clever by saying things with icky cliches and similies. I wanted to take a pen and edit. I'm sorry to sound harsh that's not my intention because I really think it's not all the author's fault. The editors were asleep. Needs more white space and more pronouns instead of "Jerry this" and "Jerry that." Nothing fresh, not even a bit twisted. Sigh. What was it about again?
