And now, Gill is here to tell the story of a recent trip to the library. This is why we have old sayings, because you sure can’t judge books by their covers.
The Deceptive Title
When choosing books at my local branch of the Hamilton Public Library I happened to choose one called Beautiful You. It seemed innocent enough. Just some thought-to-be ugly duckling discovering that she truly was beautiful.
Wrong!
What I thought was one of those feel good stories turned out to be basically pornography. It was about this billionaire who uses women to test out his sexual products. He also controls their carnal urges by something that looks like your common TV remote. Did I also tell you that he takes his powers from an ancient in the mountains of Nepal called Baba Gray Beard? I won’t say too much other than his test subject, upon whom the book is based, gains the powers of remote control.
Lesson To The Wise
I have learned that I must ask each time I go to get a book to have someone read me the jacket.
