"Don't let your mouth sign a check your ass can't cash." Or, "F around and find out..." That is the message of this though provoking novel. Look, it's a fast moving, provocative read. It is made all the more meaningful by the fact that it is writte ...more |

Fun. Delightful. Diverting. Yes, I would call this a nice, diverting read. It's well written. It's got (eventual) romantic tension. And it's happening a world where plants seem to be, almost, worshiped, but for unknown reasons. There is also a techn ...more |

I liked the elements of this young adult novel. I liked the characters, especially Claire. I liked the mystery of her father, her family, and their connection to the Japanese mafia. Yet, the novel didn't quite grab me. I think the problem for me wa ...more |

I am taking a deep breath after just finishing Exposure by Ramona Emerson. Actually, I took deep breaths while reading the novel. You see, this is a very sobering read. Rita Todacheene has almost lost herself through her work as a crime scene photo ...more |

Sometimes I need a fairy tale for adults. And this is one, and it's a good one. What a heartfelt, sometimes scary, sometimes frustrating, cautionary tale. But what are we being cautioned about... well, it's the human condition and chance. At one po ...more |

It starts out with almost a genteel feel. Character development is a slow reveal; Carlota and Montgomery and eventually Dr. Moreau. Also, eventually, we get introduced to a few of the hybrids. It just feels like a gentle read. Slowly, though, a sin ...more |

Today, somehow, we have let young people feel that it's OK to speak about other Americans using the language of hate: niggers, bitches, spics, ragheads, retards. What's the big deal?
