This review is from:
As the Pegasus Flies: A Reader's Digest Soap Opera, Volume 1 (Paperback)
This book is a riot! It's a collection of short stories set in the '50's at Reader's Digest. Each story is inspired by a picture from that era. Sometimes, just the combination of the picture and the character's name was enough to get me giggling, "Boom-Boom Bernadette," priceless. The recurring characters cracked me up -- what chick wouldn't love skirt-chasing Lorenzo? And the antics! So few writers know how to do actual, vintage screwball and yet keep it funny by today's standards, and Sue Nami is definitely one of the lucky few who can pull it off. Homemade helicopters, cyrogenics, corporate espionage, shark attacks and plenty of hanky-panky will keep anyone amused. Full of action! intrigue! romance! and laughs on every page, this book is SO cool!
