I downloaded the sample to see if it would read that way on my Kindle. It does, and I won't buy it.

While she is entitled to promote reading all she wants, she does not in any way deserve to be part of the title.

I must add that I once read that when William F. Buckley Jr, the American conservative author and commentator, was asked about Oprah he said, "Isn't she that woman who is alternately thin then fat?"
