Unlike the movie Secretary, that this book is suppose to be a homage to, the book Secretary's punishment by J. W. McKenna sucks. The movie was about a relationship - A strange man and a damaged girl helping each other and falling in love: It's quirky and interesting. The book is about a perverted salesman taking advantage of a desperate girl: It's twisted and pathetic. Everything about the book is wrong: from the preposterous premise to the unbelievable situation to the ridiculous characters. I liked the movie but hate this book. J. W. McKenna should be ashamed of what he did to Mary Gaitskill's idea.
