Snarkiness welcome. Uh-huh, I love to be "drained" by a book. Plus, Kirkus? Aren't they a buy-a-review company?

That's a good question, Anne. Who is/are Kirkus? And I always wonder if the blurber actually read the whole book. We'll never know.

Thanks, Verna. I needed some laughs, and you provided them. And you're right. I've never bought (or read) a book based on the blurbs. I don't trust them, I guess. I'm more likely to depend on friends' recommendations.

When I read some of this stuff and respond aloud in my living room all by myself, I always laugh. Glad you enjoyed the post. I'm sure there will be more to come. So much absurdity in this life to make fun of.
