REVIEW:
Such fun!
Every morning I would see and see what was in store when reading this book. Every day was a new little vignette about someone and the not-so-smart choices they make.
We have all laughed at someone's expense, possible even our own, and this book is exactly that. Small vignettes of people's decisions that are not of their best decisions, and we get a laugh at them. It's not hurtful or mean, most of these vignettes were in the news or otherwise.
For me, I am always amazed at how brain-dead people can be sometimes. You know it happens but to read about the mishaps and bad decisions really put it in perspective.
It is a harmful way to get a laugh and learn not to do that same thing yourself. You don't want to be the next ding-dong on the news anyway.....

REVIEW: I loved the whole series, but especially loved this season as it wrapped it all up.  There were a couple of moments that were so incredibly tragic, but also a couple moments where the most tragic things couldn't have happened to better people. Take Sussy for example. God, how I hated that woman through the whole show and couldn't wait for her to get what was coming to her. Did she get it here? You have to watch and see! This is the season where you will sit on the edge of your seat, waiting to see who will win the kingdom. Does your favorite character prevail above the others? MIne d…
