    Strange Book
    Perhaps if I had been a fan of the TV show Three's Company I would have enjoyed this book more. Or maybe if the characters in this novel would have been more likable I could have given a more favorable review to this book. Winning a lottery should have led to a happier conclusion. However, in my humble opinion One's Company is going to have a hard time finding the right audience to appreciate this story.
    I can't recommend it.

    No-one's Company
    Meet Bonnie Lincoln. She has a thing for the 80's TV sitcom Three's Company. To say she is obsessed is an understatement. The only bedroom in her tiny trailer is reserved for multiples of 3C DVD collections and all the bling she can afford on her warehouse stockperson salary. She binges season after season abed on the living room sofa. And then she wins the lottery, literally. Her good fortune allows her to make the obsession a reality, one she is adamant will not be shared with anyone. Ever. No Bonnie didn't have a "normal" childhood and yes, she experienced a particularly heinous incident that helps to foster this submissive fascination with the squeaky-clean life of a TV sitcom.
    One's Company is readable yet spice less. A woman living a dated sitcom in her head is allowed to physically recreate it because she won the lottery? Issues of abandonment, violence and mental health are woven into the plot but Bonnie and her circumstances never really reach palatable much less tasty. Only recommended for those familiar with Three's Company and still care.
  • Peggy A. (Fairfax, VA)
    One's Company
    Bonnie Lincoln is obsessed with a television show to the point that she wants to become the characters in the show.

    Winning the lottery has given her the money to create a town exactly like the TV show and become each character. She is so obsessed with her project that she loses sight of reality to the point of madness.

    To me, this book was very sad and depressing. Even though I wanted to and did finish reading this book I cannot recommend it to others .
