I'm so, so, so happy to again be reading Florence King. Thank you for posting her book review on the website.

Why isn't so obvious that you don't like it and will never, never like it or at list trying to understand it. Is the rest of the world at fault that when you were little babies your mothers instead of singing you a nice lullaby they put you to sleep in front of TV with baseball on? Same can be said about baseball, hockey, and even bone crushing sport played by 350 pound "athletes" that advance up and down the field with the mind bugling speed of a snail. And don't get me started about scoring, how about a 24-14 score in football isn't equivalent with a 3-2 in soccer, were is the high scoring in American Football. And more in football they have to hire commentators like John Madden to make the game more interesting because there is nothing going on in the filed, except stopping the clock after every 15 seconds of advancing yet another inch or two. Can't you super geniuses that split the hair in 4 every time an "athlete" in baseball scratches his crutch and spits the furthest, let the rest of the world be so dumb and so stupid to like the real football. Can't we all just get along...in the words of another genius. At the way American kids are growing up (or should I say sideways!) -- 100 pounds before they are 10 years old -- of course nobody will ever will play a real sport. We may all turn to like sumo wrestling or may try to invent something that can use overweight people...oops I'm sorry we already have American Football. So just give it up guys, you keep on watching the very excited sport of baseball, and NESCAR and WWE Wrestling and let the rest of the world like the Real Football, Formula 1, Rugby and whatever else they want. br> -- Dorin Matei
