There was a classic one-star review of The Count of Monte Cristo on .com, but I can't find it tonight.

The funniest review on a book. Someone accused the author of attempted murder by drowning.
I know the author is Darrin Mason but I can't remember which book.

I suspect that it will be a civil suit and not a criminal suit.
