Wow. I really, really did not like this. And not because I got it in a Humble Bundle of banned books. It is just...so...boring! And nothing really happens! A couple moves into a group house, and the woman is constantly taken aside by the janitor-in-residence, Madame Paul. M. Paul is constaantly trying to hook the girl up with a nephew, despite neither of them being interested. Then the house is sold and M. Paul disappears! Gasp! What happened? Did she die? Was she abducted? Is this some weird mob-esque drama?

Nah. She moved a few blocks down and they never noticed her. :/

There's a small bit about an illegal still in the basement, but even that amounts to nothing. It's just a retelling of one of the author's life experiences, and the problem with that is her life...if boring.

This is just such a pure skip for me. I don't get why it was banned, because that would first require someone care about the book. And who in the world is going to do that?
