Title: I was a captive audience...........
Review: This is an excellent book if you have a cold and need to distract yourself for a long time--I did. Looking back on the whole tedious experience I wonder how and why I stayed at it so long. Oh well, AJ Jacobs read the entire Britannica!I found myself neither liking nor disliking any of the major characters, never quite got immersed in the fantasy. I'm not sure what motivated the author to do this but given the time she worked on it, it's a tribute to her determination. To what, however?Dickens, Hardy and for that matter, Jack Finney are better choices. It will be a fine place to press a leaf collection, makes a good doorstop.
Is the review positive or negative?
