This book was given to me several years ago and did not interest me much then. I only read it now because I am trying to clear that backlog of unread books in my bookcases. I have a habit of buying 3 or 4 books that I am interested in, reading 2 or 3 of them, and then getting sidetracked by a new novel. This leaves an unread book or two that soon becomes forgotten, hence the effort to read these books now. Black Friday is one of those books that could have fallen behind the bookcase and never missed.
