How much is the publisher spending on marketing for this book?
It's a terrible book!
It's a book about apples written by a seriously sexually repressed man. The characters are two-dimensional and completely unlikable. The descriptions are sparse where they need to be in depth, to flesh out the characters, and way too detailed where they could have been one line. The entire chapter on bug porn was entirely unnecessary.
I can not fathom why this book is being pushed so hard.
