My Newbie is Showing

The Purloined Will

I was searching my mind for book subjects to talk about and remembered very clearly the subject of the worst book I ever forced myself to read, but not the title. The Purloined Will is as close as I could get to the title. Purloined means wrongfully taken or withheld. How do I know this? It was only mentioned about a hundred times in the book. I was in one of those now-archaic book of the month clubs and it was one of the one-hit wonders for that particular year. Oh.My.Stars. Never again! That club lost a customer. I never joined another "a month" club after that disaster.





If you are an insomniac, go for this book. To give you a hint, it was set in the 1700 England and was supposed to be an action adventure about an illegitimate child searching for his very wealth grandparents. I was irritated with it because this young boy was the only one out of all the experts in the world to figure out how to retrieve a well-hidden document from it's no-key combination lock secret place. Sounded good, but the author was dry as dust.
