I can only say that I've never experienced a book as bad as the movie "A Night at the Roxbury" - - but this one did it. When we went to that movie, I wanted to leave in the middle of it but my husband said no, we were here and going to endure the whole thing. That's how this book was. I kept reading thinking that it might get better, but it didn't. Then I read it because I just wanted to finish it. It was truly the worst book I've ever read.
