Query: Silly and Boring

I wish I hadn't wasted $10 on this book. It was silly and boring. Other critics are right - it reads like a book published by a fashion magazine or something, with way too many detailed descriptions of retail items for sale. It almost felt like someone was trying to entice me into going out to purchase some of the items so much time was wasted on describing in intimate detail.I particularly dislike the book from a political viewpoint: it makes light of a very, very serious problem in the US - people living way beyond their means. The subject could have been dealt with in a comedic manner without making it seem as though we are all SUPPOSED to be paying off one credit card with another, buying things we don't need, and being wasteful.Thumbs down on this book. Don't waste your money or your time.
