Revenge of the Paste Eaters : Memoirs of a Misfit (13)

9 Jul 2006

Title: Revenge of the Paste Eaters : Memoirs of a Misfit
Author: Cheryl Peck
Genre: Non-fiction

Cute title, cute cover, not so cute book. It wasn't awful, there just wasn't much there to really get into. It's mostly a collection of very brief remembered stories from the writer's life. There is absolutely nothing wrong with collecting funny/cute stories from your life into a book, this one just runs a little too shallow for my taste. Again nothing wrong with shallow but if it's going to be shallow I'd like it to be funnier.

My dearest darling love B bought me this book and she's always so proud of herself when she buys me a book and a like it. So of course I told her I really enjoyed it. Don't give my secret away.
