The Little Book
by Selden Edwards
"The Little Book" may have been a long-term passion project of Edwards, but it's not very interesting or good. The main characters are all so perfect --Smart! Talented at everything! Good-looking! Worshiped by others!-- that they are as boring as can be. I didn't find any of them engaging. Edwards' inclusion of real people into the book didn't help it either. If you are going to have Mark Twain be in the book, have him act like Mark Twain. Don't turn him into some blushing fool just to show the reader how pretty the main woman is.
"The Little Book" isn't the worst book out there, but it isn't worth the reader's time either.

And then the is the whole character having a romantic and sexual relationship with his grandmother thing. If the author hoped to convince the reader that it was anything other than icky, he failed. Waltzing again or not, that was his grandmother. How that got past the editor I really don't know."The Little Book" isn't the worst book out there, but it isn't worth the reader's time either.
