...but yeah, I’m a reader too and I like to form opinions ...but the foundation of opinion is substance and books such as this have none at all, so for me...(...as much as I can be amused by Lady Colin...)...this book would define torture..in my opinion of course...

Well, I will read LCC's book before I pass Judgement.
On the other hand, I've given up on Finding Freedom. It's a ghastly mix of whining and pettiness/a sicky sweet Mills and Boon confection. Meghan's 'Sugars' will love it. Get the tissues ready!
