Re: What are you reading?
Mardi,
I understand that. But Grisham's departures still showed good writing
style. I found 'Plums' writing style crude. I checked One for the $ at
Audible and saw this:
"A Jersey girl with Bette Midler's mouth and Cher's fashion sense...Who
could resist this doll?" (New York Times Book Review)
This is exactly what I didn't like about Sugar Plums. I probably wouldn't
try One because it's only available at audible abridged and I rarely waste
my time on 3 hour books.
Still, they list 5 more of hers unabridged that I could try. Do you suggest
the numbers or the Full... books?
Kitty
