![]() Context isn’t needed it was no funnier in the story that it was just there where I typed it. For example, the main character thought it was very funny when her 11 year old son asked, “What’s geometry?” That’s it. Characters would refer to something being odd or unusual, when it wasn’t at all. The jokes and puns (and there are a lot of them) aren’t funny. ![]() In addition to dated language, the language is just dull. I’ve never in my life met a 19 year old gynecologist, and frankly I never want to. If they hooked up right away, that would’ve made him 19 when they met. Goldie’s ex is a gynecologist, with an 11 year old son. They say the current time is 20 years after, so 1987. ![]() Then I started doing the math…a lot of the history goes back to when the main character (Goldie)’s ex was 10 (in 1967). Then various dates and times were mentioned in the book, and I realized this book had to have been written much later than I’d thought. The detective in the story referred to himself and other detectives as “dicks”. I couldn’t keep up with the amount of times a character said “gee” or “golly”. You know how those books read the language is dated and the characters all feel stiff. I thought for sure this book was written in the 50s or 60s. ![]() Review #2 Catering to Nobody audiobook streamming online ![]()
