This selection sounds psychotic and crazy enough to intrigue and sample, but I'm not confident it will work (even though I would likely write something as busy, stuffed, and outrageous, too, if I indeed wrote), sounding like a campy 80s or 90s adventure, completely farfetched and offhanded in its execution. It could be fun, though. I mean sexual abuse, aliens and alien retaliation and alien enlightenment and aliens supporting conservative political foreign policy, part domestic drama, political thriller, Jackie Collins-style celebrity life; it's just a mixed bag. Does no one have commentary on how this plays out or works out? Does it include a lot comedic satire; can it reasonably be compared to A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in its sheer audacity?

I do appreciate, reviewer, that you list how the reader can benefit in knowledge and perspective from the plot and its wild content; that is indeed a report I pay attention to, and I will be sure to look for this applicable insight whenever I try to sample going through it. I guess I can deal with an existential wild ride of a romp read, eh? How did you find this kind of selection to review?!

Ok, it seems that everything is in it. It's an intriguing story but I'll probably pass.

Christina Powers embodies the spirit of a go getter. A woman who's focus and determination ensured she achieved what she set out to do despite facing hurdles. I am intrigued and curious as to all she achieved. Thank you for an engaging review.

Thank you for your great review. I have sampled it. I did feel that parts of it were rushed. Perhaps when I was younger I would have really enjoyed this book, but at this time I don't care for erotic books and would react as a mother to Christina. Just different preferences in books.

The book's cover is quite interesting. Christina seems to have led a wholesome and adventurous life. I like the various topics covered as the book moves from her teenage to adult years. Congratulations on the BOTD.

This is an interesting review and seems like a story inspired by true life experience. I'm curious to know if she eventually succeeded in her political pursuit.

The cover and book description hints to sci-fi and extra-terrestrial themed elements in the book, but the review doesn't seem to touch on that, so I have to admit I'm a bit confused as to how the cover relates to the story. It looks like an interesting read, but I do believe I will pass on it for now. Thank you for the review.

I absolutely love this review; it's simple and straightforward. Wonderful Job! I don't believe this book would suit me well because I tend to expect a great level of relatable reality even in fiction. I like that the protagonist is spontaneous, but maybe she's too spontaneous for me.
