Finally! The second book on my list of "Top five worst books I'll ever read." Actually, that was the only reason I finished the book. I just knew it belonged on the list.

Where to begin? Let's start with the cover. The cover is the only redeemable aspect of Jane. The characters, dialog, writing, and plot are dismal. As you can see, I said PLOT. Yes, Lindner took one of the most beloved plots in literature and found a way to make it ridiculous. How you may ask? Mr. Rochester, oh I'm sorry, I mean Nico Rathburn is a rock star hoping for a comeback. In this novel, his favorite word is the F word and one of his worst fears is that he may be seen as a soccer dad. Lindner also tries to convince the reader that the most unbelievable thing that could happen today is for a rock star to marry his 19 year old nanny. Really!!!!!

Here is some of the witty dialogue I told you about. Picture it. Jane was walking on the side of the road and Nico almost runs her over, but fortunately he spins out of control and just misses her. He is hurt, but still manages to get this gem of a remark out of his mouth, "Where could you be walking to all the way out here in the middle of nowhere? I suppose you're one of those fitness walkers." Oh, it burns!

I could say more, but I might start to hurt the author's feelings, so to all my friends, DON'T READ IT.
