I surprised myself by actually finishing this book. It is possibly one of the worst books I have ever read. Totally unfunny, very boring and repetitive in places. The only redeeming character in the whole book was Lexi who had the patience of a social worker.
Just A Typo
by John Bennardo
OMG. This was just crazy. It felt like a bunch of puns and one-liners. Nothing very good. I get an advance copy so I read the book, front to back always. It was cringy .
Just A Typo is a fairly quick read that can make the reader think if they take time and want to go deeper.
Mo Riverlake finds himself in hot water with everyone in America. And all because of a typo. The story starts with his fall from fame. Then, Mo proceeds to share his rise to fame with his lawyers as he awaits trial.
I appreciate the message about offense. I think the author does a good job of pointing out the absurdity we're heading toward in our country as we try to avoid offending anyone, which is impossible. Really, we can take offense at anything. The key is to regulate ourselves and manage our emotions around an offense rather than forcing others to adjust their behaviors or words so we are comfortable.
The book also delivers plenty of one-liners that made me laugh. And the author has a way of connecting words that's clever. Some of the content is overly sexual and childish, though.
The ending is quite surprising, and it frustrated me. Also, Mo quite honestly is a terribly selfish character. I didn't really find anyone in this book to root for, unfortunately.
