Reviews

[Cynthia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow these are powerful stories. He is a talented writer but the subjects are difficult to keep reading about. They are dark, raw and shocking stories about difficult human struggles. But you have to say that the writer has talent. Due to the subject matter I'm not sure I'd run out and buy another book of his to read but if I came across one, yes I would read it.
