"People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading." - Logan Pearsall Smith.
I had seen this book several times before actually buying and reading it. I can't ever seem to follow the "don't judge a book by its cover" rule. I was repelled by it, to be honest. Kittredge writes that Jack has the cast and style of Billy Idol. Well, if that's the case, then the beefy bloke on the cover could not possibly be Jack. They look like a tag-team of Gothic professional wrestlers.
