OK, with a SUBTITLE LIKE THAT, WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO GIVE A LOOK-SEE? I like this kind of collection, scrapbook-like with it's reproductions of the actual letters including, it would seem, some real addresses on the letterheads, like the letters recieved by persons dumped from the LDS church. I'm a sucker for books that are scrap-book like!
But rather than horrified, I thought it was all FUN! Perverse Fun maybe but still fun because we know that those who contributed their misfortune to this book must have gotten over it already in order to reveal it to the world! And if they didn't get over it, then they GOT EVEN by showing just how cold and without compassion some letter senders can be!
Will this book stop YOU from forgetting to be kind when you ought to be? Will you tear up that Dear John letter and figure out a better way to say goodbye? If only this book didn't have so many REJECTIONS FROM PUBLISHERS in it!
