Day 07 – Most underrated book
2010 Answer: Hard to pick

This one is still hard to answer, because I read what I want.  I am a confirmed "negative review" reader, only because I find they're usually more informative.
Especially now that the Kindle lets you have access to so much more stuff, including self-published and older stuff.

So, instead of strictly "underrated", I'm going to go with one of the titles I'd never have found if it weren't for Kindle.  It's a little mystery/parody called Death and the Lit Chick by G.M. Malliet.  I don't think it was intended to be a strict parody, but it goes in that direction.  Still the mystery isn't bad, but the book is mostly for the characters.  A publisher is hosting a weekend party for its best writers, including the Lit Chick (who is a total bitch and you're not sad when she ends up as the victim).  The authors are pretty recognizable jokes, although a few of them are crossed together.  It was light, it was fun, it cost me ninety-nine cents.

Have you read the others in the series? They're quite fun as well.

I read the Death of a Cozy Writer one, and it was decent.
