Mehso-so

Glad to be done with this one! I've read a few JCO books and never understood her appeal, so I was hoping a bio of her would offer some insight and help me understand her a bit better. Unfortunately this reads more like a bibliography than a biography--endless accounts of novels and stories and when they were published etc. If you already like JCO you'll probably enjoy this, but it didn't endear her to me at all.

A book in which a mean gym teacher is given equal emotional analysis and more pages than an actual sexual assault. Infinite ????
