I love puns. Minda Webber uses puns. Why can't I stand her books? Might it be because puns are OK when they are causually dropped in occasional places, but make you gag when used in every other sentence. I don't know if this woman can write a good story because, yet again, I was unable to make it to page 20 before throwing the book across the room in disgust. I find that the writer tries too hard to be punny and create characters that I have no desire to get to know. And she has a habit of pushing too hard, too early in the story, putting me in the position of never wanting to read another of her books.

I tried to read this book. I gave it a fair chance and even started it after finishing a book by a favorite author. But Minda Webber, while choosing topics that I find interesting, just isn't an author that I can stomach.
