Ever have one of those days that you wish you could just...ummmmm...I don't know, skip?
It seems that Shasta and Ulyssa are having more of those than they can count, and you get to come along for the side splittingly funny ride.
You My Dear Have...Real Character
This
is a book that is built on the wonderful cast of colorful characters
that Marita Fowler has manged to both craft and bring to life with a
seemingly effortless perfection.
Though
this book is written in a comedic voice, the characters are not written
to parody life. If anything, this book brings life to it's reader in a
technicolor clarity, allowing them to experience the full rainbow of
the emotional spectrum within its pages.
There
can be no better example of this than the story's heroines Shasta and
Ulyssa. They are in essence every woman. They are your mother, sister,
aunt, and yes, the checkout clerk at Wal-mart. On the surface they
appear sweet, loveable, and maybe even a little naive; but back these
babes into a corner and they'll come out shooting.
You Want Me To Whaaat?
This
entire story and the high jinx which ensue are based on that question.
Whether it be Shasta, Ulyssa, or one of the many outlandish residents
of Nitro, West Virgina; someone somewhere is always fulfilling some
whacky wish with hilariously askew results.
