I had thoughts of tawdry love affairs among realtor’s, and board room struggles between power brokers. But, instead I found a hugely entertaining, and side splittingly funny novel that makes me chuckle every time I see the cover. This is humor at its very apex. Humor is a hard genre to be successful in but this author definitely has 'The Write Stuff.'Alan Rolnick has created a vignette o... http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/1465 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/1465 Sun, 24 May 2009 11:57:04 PST Book Review Of No Matter What No Matter WhatJordana RyanAmira Press (2007)ISBN 9781934475041Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (5/07)"“No Matter What” is a very deep book.
