Full disclosure: my agent sent this to me to read. I told him I might, if I had time. I didn't imagine I'd have time, and this didn't really sound like my kind of thing. 
 Well, I think this line from one of my reply e-mails says it best: "I wasn't going to read it, and then I couldn't stop reading it." 
 This wins on voice, darlings. Witty, wry, honest, heartfelt voice. Of all the elements of writing, I really feel like that's the one you can't fake.
