Summary: perfect book to keep on your nightstand
Review: I am a divorce attorney who listens to the stories of unhappy couples all day. I laughed quite cynically at the title when I picked it up at the bookstore but opened the book and was quickly hooked, reading a wonderful story about George Burns and Gracie Allen. I am now giving away copies of this book at my office, hoping to remind people of the true essence of romance. This little gem of a book is heart-warming and makes a great gift.

Summary: The fifty most trite things ever published
Review: When a book title contains quantity and superlatives you know that it's either a technical reference or low-brow crap. This book is not a technical reference.

One of the greatest challenges in writing about love and romance is avoiding the usual clichés and sentimentality. One can view them as cruel stumbling blocks thrown in the author's path. For the most part we admire an author who is nimble enough to avoid them. In Frauline von Mueffling's case we are aghast by the degree to which she willingly embraces these obstacles. Clearly what we have here is a writer without imagination trying to appeal to reader's without imagination. In the end we are left with a simple methodological question: "is this stuff literary trash or historical trash?"
