    <body><![CDATA[My loyalty to Hugh Laurie is going to have to end with his acting work. While the writing itself was clever and full of wordplay the general plot of this book was a bit hard to follow and the character development was non-existent. It was actually hard for me to keep characters straight because they...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57756443">more...</a>]]></body>
