AAAO: quelle perte de temps, en effet… Consider the number of members who have this v. the number of reviews posted. This book is probably rated highly, because (not although) few people have actually entirely read it. What its publishing editor calls "imperfections" are only the beginning. Every mistake in the book, is a feature in this one. Its author is said to have written glowing reviews of it’s first installment and paid to have them prominently published and any traces back to him removed. A series of seven books billed to the reader as a “novel,” in total it’s around 2500 pages long and every one of those pages begs the question. "Why?" Just Why?
