Flappers, Flasks and Foul Play (Jazz Age, Bk 1)
MaGee avatar reviewed on + 43 more book reviews


I trudged through 150 pages before giving up! The three pages of "1920s Jazz Age Slang" should have been a clue. The protagonist and a few others used it as every day language. They sounded like Teeny-Boppers trying to make an impression which only enhanced the extremely elementary writing.

I just couldn't take it after this sentence (page 159 in ISBN9780989417006)... 'He escorted us to an elevator operated by an old Negro man in a red uniform and hat that opened out onto the second floor.'

Enough said! Moving on!!!
