Sure likes the R word.

Review from Death Instinct →

I am a fan of Bentley. This is ok. Not the best though. Story with a little simplistic and relied heavily on a popular concept in 1992. I guess he watched Rain Man and said “Hey, what if a guy like that was a serial killer?”As for the prolific use of the R Word….I would..

Should be labeled YA

Review from The Lost Starship →

The plot is not dense if that makes any sense. The characters take themselves way to serious. The author really tries hard to create tension and drama within the story and succeeds at a YA level. I was in between books and just finished the second in the series. It’s just ok. I not going..

More than that, though is something I routinely comment on with respect to this genre… After the first or second in a series the thing that brought people in, character development, takes a backseat to..

An easy read

Review from John Hancock →

I found Harlow Giles Unger’s biography of John Hancock most interesting. Unger did an excellent job of weaving facts acquired from various sources into a fairly fast-moving story. The research was meticulous and Unger’s storytelling was superb. My only complaint is Unger’s approach to Samuel Adams and John Quincy Adams. I think he overdid the..

Mew, but Too Evil

Review from Awaken Online: Catharsis →

TL;DR: Don’t read if you don’t like evil main characters. I had to stop after about an hour, MC is essentially a school shooter in training and does bat an eye at being called Chaotic Evil. Story is patchy ND not well written. Narrator is ok, but definitely doesn’t help with the general vibe and..
