I already own the ebook (and listened to the audiobook in the pool this summer, so it's fresh in my memory), but I couldn't resist looking. That blurb is appalling. Would it have been so damned hard to get someone who'd actually read it to vet the blurb before going wide with it?

The audiobook was well done and made the most of the essential funniness of Tamar's commentary,
