I don't think there has ever been a book that I disliked as much as this one (and I know a negative review might not get it flying off my bookshelf but I hated this book so much I wouldn't want to wish it on anyone anyway). The main character was annoying and self-centered and the story in itself was just too monotonous.

The story centers on a letter to Goat from Ram - the letter, of course, is received by the wrong person. The story takes off from there and there is love everywhere for everyone. It is a delightful and quick and easy read.
