Bloody good fun!

Honestly. This one caught me by surprise. I have a lot of charity shops around my office and so, on my lunch break, I'll wander along their shelves and trace the spines and look for something. Especially if I've finished the book I wa

I had to know what the fuss was about.

Near as I can tell, this is a case of style over substance. I think this one works best if you're not already orbiting the topic of existence and our place in it. If you are... You're going to have better exampl

Obvious Adams by Robert Rawls Updegraff

Quick review on this one. Its a story used to convey a few key frames of mind that are quite helpful for business.

Keep It Simple, Stupid - pretty much covers it

I liked the format. I think we've lost the art of parables and fables in our modern world.

This one was research a little while ago when I was interested in learning how to write in a bit more of a bestseller style.

Did not expect to enjoy it so much!

King is a master of making the implausible seem everyday via the vehicle of the perfectly

Knock out entertainment read of the year. Absolutely fantastic.

The story is about a regular joe, in this case Carl, who finds the earth flattened, invaded and then altered by an alien TV show.

He has to navigate this new subterranean world of corridor
