I'd like to think that if Person #1 picked Person #2 at random from deli where all the meat has gone rancid causing a permanent and horrifying version of mental retardation, and said to them "The Devil and Miss Prym: A Novel of Redemption....write a book about it." The drool-encrusted dullard could write this exact same book before the sickly-sweet smell of decaying pastrami and left his breath.

If you can't figure out what's coming next (almost down to the exact verbage) in this book, then you either are employed by Person #2 and view him as some sort of personal deity, or you're three years old and looking to make that first big leap to a big boy book.

The saving grace (and the sole reason for the second star) is that it's short in both total pages and words per sentence. You'll finish if before you reach for that first square of toilet paper.
