Negative Positive
Title: Mildly entertaining; over all, disappointing
Review: When I first picked up this book, I thought it would pack the same kick as some of Howard's others; boy was I disappointed. Although it was entertaining to see the machinations of small-town America, the two main characters were so clueless as to be from completely different books. I never got the sense they had much chemistry, and the way the main character went from not liking anything about the man to loving him seemed a little too far-fetched. The plot was also cliche, dating back past all of the thousands of reincarnations of the plot of Pygmalion. All in all, I'd suggest skipping this one and wait for the next Howard book.
