So,
I ran into Russ on Shelfari and decided to download the Kindle sample - what a charming beginning!! I definitely think this is "one to watch". I'm going to get a copy right away.

257 pages into it, I'm almost done. It's BRILLIANT. Russ is a flawless writer. I could eat his words all day long. Even better, they're fat free.

First chapter was pretty funny but for some reason I wasn't in the mood. Will revisit sometime in future.
