Mona Lisa Darkening by Sunny

I am going to admit that I have a serious problem with the author Sunny -- one I have never had with any other author before, even other really bad authors. I have not read this book. I will NEVER read this book. Please see my reviews on her other two books that I did mistakenly order and read.

Money does not grow on trees people, don't throw it away on the undeserving peons of this world -- people like Sunny with ZERO talent who are merely connected enough to get their garbage published.

Just say no.

We're almost in 2009, and this title is still the BEST resource for the total novice to standards-based (X)HTML and CSS.

3.0 out of 5 stars mixed, Jun 24 2008
This gets three stars because the author "Sunny" is a freakin' HACK.

"Alpha and Omega", the first story by Patricia was great. I've never read her novels, but I may just give them a shot.

"Buying Trouble" by Karen Chance was my favourite -- very evocative prose.

"Inhuman" by Eileen Wilks was decent, though not my favourite.

To the reviewer below me -- you're a moron. clearly you cannot read to begin with else you would have known off the bat that this was a short story collection -- what with the names of four different people in large typeface on the front cover and all. Stupid.
