I really enjoyed reading most of this novel. The characters were well developed, and the writing was full of wit. Fowler used a somewhat omnisceint narrator. It was mostly told through the point of view of the main character Rita, but then occasionally we would be privy to the thoughts of Rita’s god mother. Although I laughed while I was reading it, I kept waiting for something to happen. The plot line was weak. It never got exciting and not much happened. I also Hated the ending. Not a book I would recommend, but it did have it’s moments. When I got this from the Library it was catagorized as a Mystery novel. So I’ll do the same but I’m not sure that I agree. It’s a novel about mystery novels, but there’s no mystery here.
