Critic reviews

"The celebrated series continues." ( Publishers Weekly)

almost fell asleep at the wheel

These were weird meandering tales. I almost fell asleep while driving due to the narrators. there are probably people who can both follow the stories and deal with the narrator's tone, but I am not one of them. Maybe if I were just doing laundry.
