This one had a slow, rocky start, with a frankly bizarre prologue, but I pushed past that and ended up really enjoying it. A lot of times, when I read a reviewer praise the "witty banter" in a book, I end up confused, wondering if we actually read the same book at all. This book was funny, though! Remember comedy? I barely do, but I actually laughed reading this one. Other book club members liked James's later books better, so I might skip around and read some of her others.
