The idea of the radius where men would face in the flesh and could sell their services seemed carrier many humorous anecdotes or scabrous. Nevertheless, it is a missed bet. Indeed, apart from some comments in the book Zoe when she meets his profile on each of the men she tried, I did not amused. The distressing story between Barnabas Zoe and the seller has no dynamic because it does nothing except watch his step with men from the radius. One would expect a comical situation where three Barnabas would do his best to sabotage the appointment but not Zoe. In short this book is very average!
