Secrets of the Monarch: What the dead Can Teach Us About Living a Better Life  Allison Dubois (Simon & Schuster)

I think the title says it all.

Despite the large font and small number of pages, this reader was completely beaten in her endeavour to read this indulgent, frivolous, totally uninteresting and uninspiring dedication to the dead as told by Allison Dubois, who apparently, is a medium.

Yes, the same woman who’s life story is now a popular TV show, Medium.

 

Verdict: For fans of Allison Dubois – maybe!
