Review: Daddy Will You Dance with Me?

Here's another off-topic book review, but as I've stated in the past, if a publisher sends me a book I request, I feel an obligation to read it and comment on it. I guess the issue is I need to stop requesting off-topic books, huh? ;-)

Anyway, today's book review is on a book called Daddy, Will You Dance with Me? For those of you who remember the song Butterfly Kisses several years ago, you'll know what this book is about simply by thinking of the song. For those of you who don't, it's real simple: it's a syrupy "story" of a father/daughter relationship through their lifetimes and into the next generation.

Now that you know what it's about, here are a few thoughts I have on Daddy, Will You Dance with Me?:

1. It's a "gift book" which means it's hard-cover, small in size, light on text and heavy on pictures/graphical elements.

2. The book retails for $10.99.

3. Given #1 and #2 above as well as the content of the book, I'm not sure who would buy this or for what occasion. I'm sure there is one -- I just can't think of one. What I can think of is about a ba-zillion different ways to spend $10.99 that would be a better use of the money.

As such, my rating for Daddy, Will You Dance with Me? based on my 0-10 star-rating system is: 3 Stars.
