Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Reading Dancing brings up a lot of questions: Why is this called a novella when it is only a short story? Why does the publisher think it's worth the price and why should we pay to read an excerpt from an already-published novel? Why do two grown men need Anita to signal when they can remove their seatbelts? Why can't the author be bothered to give Zerbrowski a first name? Why must there always be lengthy, repetitious descriptions of the physical appearance of the main characters? Why does it take over half an hour for Anita to state the simple fact that they are babysitting Matthew? Why does Matthew's mother even allow Anita and her boytoys to babysit him, since he learns inappropriate sexually-oriented behavior from them and has already gotten in trouble at preschool because of it? Why doesn't JC hire a reliable nanny for Matthew? Why does Anita insist on attending events where she will have to mingle with people she dislikes, and then make her presence and behavior a challenge to the world? Why can't Anita, Nathaniel and Micah refrain from situation-inappropriate PDA for a couple of hours? Why does there always have to be a scene where Anita gets all self-righteous and pontificates about how her lifestyle choice is the only acceptable one? Why did the author write a 4 year old boy in such an unrealistic way? Why does the author insist on writing so many of the other characters as out-dated stereotypes? Why do people who know what she's like even consider inviting Anita to their parties, unless they secretly want her to act up and upset all their friends? Why does Anita think all blondes and most women are evil? It would take a really good therapist to answer some of these questions. Since Anita is so fond of sending her non-conforming associates off to therapy, she really ought to consider going herself. If it works out, we might be spared so much whining, angst and judgmental behavior in her future adventures.
