Private Lies

Summary: Forget it!
Review: I have enjoyed very much the two previous Adler books I read, so when I found this one in the library, I was all primed for a good weekend read. I am at page 184 and just closed it with a slam. I was somewhat interested in Carol and Ken's reuniting and planning a way to be together. But then when Carol's husband and Ken's wife are involved in the exact same scenario ... telling each other, "have any two humans had such out of this world sex?" I stuck with it twenty or more pages and then, mid-sentence, couldn't stand another word of such tripe.

Summary: Forget it!
Review: Ken and Carol meet again, years after the passionate and sultry love affair of their youth. Each married to others, they plot together to end Carol's marriage. They must find a way to keep her wealth from falling prey to her prenuptual agreement, which could leave her virtually penniless, which Ken knows all to well, not being a financial success himself. This book is so far off the mark - it's really all over the place, including a Safari complete with raging elephants, a drunken guide who speaks swahili and sex drives that are just too much to be of any interest to the listener (or reader). This is adult material, with far too much of the sappy description of private body parts and their functions, usually reserved for the romance novel set. Reader, David Dukes not particularly proficient at the voice characterizations on this one. My advice - don't waste your time on this audio cassette.
