- When the Bride of Frankenstein sleeps, she dreams of the facades of junior high schools.
- I sort of like the torn cover effect, but the rest — it's both nonsensical and ugly. The color scheme alone is a nightmare.
- "Colonel Primrose" already sounds like someone I'd like to kick in the balls.
- If only this book were about a "gimlet-eyed" cat.
- Always sad when the original cover is light years better, design-wise, than the paperback.

In case you were still entertaining some idea of actually reading anything written by this woman...

When I was kicked in the balls I turned the same colour as the woman on the cover. And I was in high school at the time. This book is about ME!
ReplyDeleteColonel Primrose? Really? Did he serve with Major Ponce and General Emasculation?
ReplyDeleteAnd I have never understood the term "gimlet-eyed" -- I always figured that was what Nick and Nora Charles had.
I can't tell if Bantam is kissing Scribner's ass or passive-aggressively saying they suck with that "large sale and effective promotion" stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't dare attack Colonel Primrose if he had Major Begonia and Sergeant Pansy with him.
