Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog: The Amazing Adventures of an Ordinary Woman

Lisa Scottoline has a great storytelling voice for this. That's where the great part ends.
Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog began as columns for the Philadelphia Inquirer and should have remained columns for a newspaper. Together the stories get boring and well, not very funny. I think that was the point of the book, humor, and it is not humorous in that laugh out loud, relating to the tale sort of way.
It was a bit like listening to a bad joke in the midst of others and trying to pretend that you find it humorous and then further to fake a laugh. It is more whiny and tedious than funny.
Scottoline tries to connect with everyone: the twice divorced, the happily married, the 'who cares about my looks,' the 'I care about my appearance,' and in trying to be all things to all people the humor is lost.
