Title: Icing off the Cake
Review: You know how cake icing, whether stuck on the box of a purchased cake or on the rim of your cake holder at home, when you scrape it off with you finger and put it in your mouth, has that shot of sweetness with no body behind it? That is how this book struck me - a little icing with no cake! I've looked through the other reviews and this is definitely a contrary view. I will never read another of this book series and will look hard at anything else by this author.The series was highly recommended to me by several friends and I have very broad reading interests. But, this is just too much fluff. As Gertrude Stein said about Oakland " There is no there, there."
Is the review positive or negative?
