Advance Review of FAMILY BLOG #7

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not a novel, it's an accountant’s nightmare! Virtually every page has a reference to finances: the characters are only concerned with making, wasting, gambling, or even cheating other people out of their money. Are we really supposed to believe that life boils down to such vile calculating instincts?
Clary Antome has not shown the slightest ability or interest in truly exploring the diversity of human feelings and potentialities. In the end, she seems to be suggesting that everyone is greedy, traitorous and self-centred.
I would recommend that you skip this novel and turn to a good lifestyle magazine or romantic movie instead. At least they will brighten up your day!
