Sick of product placements.

OKn but would not have paid full price.
I am so sick of books that have whole descriptions lifted directly from manufacturer's promotional materials-among others the heroine's snomobile, especially when the details are not significant for the narrative. The book was barely novella length. With out the padding, it would have been more like a short story. I wonder how much the advertsers paid the author.

The last time Sophie saw sexy P.I. Anatoly Darinsky, he practically danced a jig when she waved goodbye; a normal reaction for a man who'd nearly bought the farm trying to protect her from her own foolishness. What are the chances he'd agree to take incriminating pictures of her sister's philandering husband? Or that he'd let her tag along, you know, for research?

Purile Product Placement

What do you think your next listen will be?
Nothing by Kyra Davis. That's for sure.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
This book is awful. I think the author's income must come, not from sales of the book, but from advertisers. It is nothing but one brand name product placement after another.
In order to keep the book from petering out, the author makes the characters do things that are so stupid that you wonder why they are allowed out by themselves.

Propelled into society by his ever-hopeful father, Frank is introduced to a variety of professions in order to make his fortune. Not industrious by nature, however, Frank finds working life a challenge, and by his 25th birthday, he has failed medicine, portrait-painting, caricaturing, and even forgery. Disenchanted with life, he despairs of ever finding something to commit to — until he meets Alicia Dulcifer and her inexplicably wealthy father.

One Twisting, Turning, Fun Book!

- A Rogue's Life
- By: Wilkie Collins
- Narrated by: Bernard Mayes
Funny and Well Read
Reviewed: 10-31-08
A very enjoyable listen. The narrator is great. Not at all your usual Wilkie Collins. Nothing supernatural, or dark. Just a well-writing, funny, romantic, sometimes satirical story of a charming young man with no particular calling making an unconventional beginning in life

Not Dickens
Reviewed: 09-10-08
Although the blurb for this book likens it to novels by Dickens, this book doesn't measure up to the master. Somehow the characters were not compelling. Audience were supposed to have cried in when Dickens gave public readings of the passage describing the death of Little Nell. I cannot imagine any such response for anything in this book.
