    “When he's on, he's on. I liked it enough to look for more of his books to read. Spotty, though.

    Laugh out loud funny in parts.”

    “Have you been bombarded by complete strangers who wanted to know, after you have
    written a review, and/or made comments expressing your opinion of a book,
    whether they should read this book? And it isn't that they took the time to see
    who you are, then ask in a note, no, they just spammed you and everyone else on
    Shelfari who has said book on shelf. Does this irriate you? If so, you can do
    something about it: you can contact either of the two Shelfari reps below, or
    better yet, you can contact both of them and ask them to please remove the new
    and annoying feature that allows this spamming!
