Maybe if all the lawyers turn from the courtrooms to writing novels, we would have a less litigious society.Nevertheless, the two main characters have fun. I had fun, but not as much as they. If the author can put me where the characters are, that's a good book. Reading this, I was watching the characters without much identification with them.. A Customer said Good, but annoying..
