True Jeanketeers who loyally follow The Onion's "A Room of Jean's Own" may be disappointed by "A Book of Jean's Own." In her regular column, Jean is, at worst, an over-eating, dysfunctional, shopaholic housewife with a rather skewed view of reality. In her book, we discover than Jean may have some truly serious underlying mental problems. She transforms rapidly from ignorant optimist to dangerous psychopath, and it isn't pretty to behold. Hubby Rick is the only saving grace here, and (spoiler alert) he doesn't even get credit for it.
