Review # 1 was written on 2011-04-19 00:00:00 Brittany Hartwell Re The Wrong Kind of Wife - Roberta Leigh's farewell HP Plus voyage is a second chance while married story. It is also one of the most tackiest and disgusting HP outings in the known and unknown HP universe. A word before I start: I despise this book from the bottom of my HP addicted soul. Not only is the H in this a utter coprophagic nematode parasite slime sewer swimmer, RL had some SERIOUS plot holes in this. RL wrote this when she was in her seventies, in certain respects, it is an excellent throwback to those seriously vintage HQN's from the 30 and 40's - where the H blatantly cheats and all is forgiven because that is just what men do. But in that attempt to make the past the present, RL forgets that the world is very, very different in 1995 and she makes no allowances for the cultural passage of time. This lack doesn't help the book and in fact, is going to make it quite incomprehensible to newer readers. I have tried to extrapolate what I think RL meant as best I can, but that is only my interpretation and to get the full plot hole effect, you will have to read the book. The book starts with the documentary film maker h coming home from a filming job in France. Her husband, an upper class scion in rebellion from his industrialist wealthy family, is hopefully waiting anxiously for a very lurved up reunion. The h walks into her apartment to find the H half undressed on the couch with a gourmet picnic hamper and some pricey champagne chilling. But what really stirs her ire is that he also has his tongue down the throat of one of his former equally upper class and equally scantily clad girlfriends. The h has a huge hissy fit, as you do in that situation, but unfortunately was not in reach of a cast iron skillet. So she can't brain the H when the girlfriend hastily leaves and the H tries to tell her he only wants to actually lurve club HER and then tries to lurve her up. That ain't happening in the h's estimation, she wants answers and she intends to get them. You know, things like how often does this happen, has this happened before and just what does the H do when she goes off on location?. The H blows her off like it hardly matters. When the h won't quit with the interrogations, he chases off after his girlfriend and as we soon find out, she certainly doesn't turn his Tower of Power ride offer down. Two days later the h finds out the H's father died. She tries to find him and be supportive, but the H is still furious and now he is moving back in with is slime slurper snob family, he has to take over the family business empire. The h is done with fake bourgeoisie snobs, she packs her bags and moves to America. Seven years on, the h is interested in another man and wants to finalize a divorce. (Of course this is going to be complicated because this is RL's HPlandia and had no bearing on any British Law reality. ) So the H gets the opportunity to use blackmail to make a deal. The H is a direct rival to the OM the h is interested in. There is a big contract up for grabs between the two men's respective company's. The deal is that the h has to move back with the H and take up spousal duties again in order to get her divorce. (This is a huge plot hole, because the guy who has the contract presumably has met or seeen the H and his current fiancee -yes the H claims he is engaged to his semi-live in OW- and yet the h is needed back in the role of wife to convince the contract holder's that the H is a moral and family guy.) So a whole lot back and forth and OW verbal battles and filler goes on for a gadzilliion chapters, with some H and h Tower of Power riding thrown in and numerous hints of all the conquests the H has had over the years. The h, who started out pretty strong and independent, gets steadily eroded into a spineless jelly blobule for chapter after chapter and the H's family is just a snobby as they ever were as they manage to erode the h's character down further. (Every single character besides the h was a calcium sucking vampire. I am sure the h probably just melted away in a puddle of goo approximately three pages after this book ends, leaving only her skin, which the H then stuffed and displayed in appropriate poses as his perfect, compliant, blow up doll wife.) Eventually the h's OM loses the contract, the H and the h part cause he got his business deal and the divorce gets started moving along. (For irreconcilable differences AND the H filed, instead of the adultery grounds the h should have filed for year's earlier,) The h goes back to New York, tells the OM she isn't interested anymore and the has another confrontation with the OW - who tells the h the wedding is in a few weeks. The h is sad and mopey cause her marriage is over - but the reader is confused because it had been pointed out earlier that there is still several months to go before the divorce is final. So apparently the H is a bigamist too. The h decides to go to France for a little vacation, but runs into the H's assistant at the airport. He claims the H loves her and the OW is marrying someone else, the H isn't coming for the h because he believes she is married to the OM. (Again, the H and h's DIVORCE IS NOT FINAL, so how can the h be married?!? Tho it wouldn't surprise me if the H was a bigamist, the h had more character - at least at first.) The poor calcium deficient h is so low and wobbly that she allows the man to bully her into going back to the H in England and groveling at his feet for him to take her back before she completely melts away. The H knows a good opportunity to acquire a blow up, spineless stuffed wife specimen when he sees it. The h does her grovel about how wrong she was to misinterpret her half-dressed husband's tongue down another half-dressed woman's throat and of course he never cheated on her and even if he did it was all her doing to begin with, what on earth was she thinking to have a career or travel even half a block on her own? So the H indifferently takes the h back with the thought that at least the h now knows her doormat, lower class, impoverished, subservient place. Finally, we can close the book with a sigh of relief and thank the HP higher powers that RL will never darken the shores of HPlandia again.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-18 00:00:00 John Cameron Just hated the story,i stopped when i reached the scene where Hubby Tim is caught kissing another woman Patsy cause he was missing his wife and when wife Lindsey catches them he says it was just kissing and he would have not made love to her,he can make love only to his wife and when she gets angry at him and does'nt takes excuses he says i agree it got out of hand but why are you making such a big issue of it they have a big fight and he goes and stays at Patsy for 2 days(it is understood he has done the deed this time) and then they go seperate ways i skipped through and went to end where it is revealed that he would have married another woman if they had not got together but cause Lindsay came back so he breaks off with OW,what was his relation with her how intimate nothing was revealed,the OW makes it clear they are intimate and Tim does nothing to deny it,she comes to give back the cuff links that he left at night in her house and he just keeps it in pocket many issues were left in middle never cleared,Tim-Lindsay had many issues like constant negative criticism of each other,Lindsay's insecurities with her background and Tim's frustration that Linsday did'nt appreciate that his family has money cause they did'nt earned it they got it from their ancestors and later after 3-5 years of seperation only Lindsay came off more independent and mature i did'nt liked the book,hated the attitude of Tim and his morals and ethics,he was never sorry that he kissed another woman and slept with her,he blames it on wife cause she did'nt trust him so he went and done it,by the end wife also accepts that it was her fault and she apologises,never felt any love between them I was confused why these two even got back together
