Beany is obnoxious, Mary Fred is clueless, Johnny is abstracted, Dad is absent, the housekeeper is stupid, the cousin is stiff-necked but multiply-wronged, the advice columnist is a crusty old saint with a heart of gold, the old guy is a demented and pitiful thing except when he's being noble, the boyfriend is a dork, the girlfriend's mother is clueless, the plot is a cardboard cut-out. I knew exactly where we were going. Hell, I even knew where the confounded bracelet was. But still, I read the whole thing. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

My only critique, and it is a similar one to that I made in my review of Beany Malone, is that although the author depicts some very real emotional trauma here, in the form of Johnny's response to
