My dad got me this book for Christmas, so I was all excited to read it. From the back of the cover, it looks like some sort of Romance/Mystery. It really isn't either. The main character is basically a down-and-out guy looking to make some easy cash. So he takes a summer job watching this old lady. She's crazy. In a bad way. And one horrible thing after another that happens to this guy makes you feel nothing but sympathy for him. This guy is so unlucky and pitiful that depression seeps through this book's pages into you. I give this book a crappy rating because it was plotless and made me feel down in the dumps.
