Sometimes publication feels like an award, though, when seasoned authors are allowed to get sloppy after their millionth book (where this one falls on Henley's publication list, I'm not quite sure, but she's written a ton of 'em).
I keep remembering the story about how one of Joan Collins's novels was such shit that her publishers refused to release it, and given something like this (and the fact that there are lots of other veteran authors who keep publishing no matter how crappy their work gets), I can't even imagine how bad that Collins novel must have been.
On the other hand, my neighbor adored this book--said it was one of the best she's read in a very long time--so I guess somebody's doing something right.
