An Embarrassment of Riches

This book took me a really long time to get in to. I had been warned that there was a PG version of it - which is the version I had - and had to go out and find the R rated version. It was worth it. One of the best things this book has going for it is the colorful language. Some of the scenes are laugh out loud funny and I don’t know that they would be so in a white-washed version. Overall, few of the characters are likable, but you do ultimately have a lot of sympathy for Ursula. I’m not sure if I will read any more in the series, but by the end I DID want to know what happened to Ursula and Jed. I read a Christmas Short in this series a few years ago and had the same opinion - the colorful language is the best part of the book. The characters are basically unlikable and the scenarios - painful. 3 out of 5 stars This was the March & April selection for the Manpower Operations Book Club https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9915413-an-embarrassment-of-riches
