The Timewaster Letters by Robin Cooper

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

It’s rare that a book so thoroughly lives up to its promise. This one did. Not only was my time wasted, but also everyone involved in the process of getting the book from manuscript form to a book on the shelf. Not to mention the author’s time, which would have been better spent sleeping.

The humor was schoolyard level, i.e. stupid and meanspirited. The only good thing I can say about this book is that the layout was pleasing.

My advice: don’t waste your time! (or your money, come to think of it.)
