"Suzanne Freeman's light-hearted look at the foibles of modern 
society offers a brittle examination of American consumerism's mad 
dash toward manufactured solutions to everyday problems. Her all-
encompassing survey of middle-class values skewers short-sighted 
science, corporate greed, and the mania to find both health and 
happiness in marketed products. Writing in the best tradition of 
modern satire, Freeman's story evokes shades of Joseph Heller, Kurt 
Vonnegut, Jr., Thomas Berger, and maybe just a dash of Fannie 
Flagg and Dave Barry. This is a witty work, but with a sobering point 
about the American way of acceptance."—Clay Reynolds, Final 
Judge
