Reviews

[Zachary Tanner · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Then again, curfew strikes at high noon and stays struck for one hour while every single townsperson over sixteen is taking the daily obligatory ritual community cleansing in the big outdoor pool in our town square. Just let your poor mind wander and try to picture the unspeakable and self referent lewdness and ogling, baboon barking and sickening self abuse, that would most certainly explode if said 'aliens' were to look on as our naked, possessed citizens scrubbed and doused and birched and penetrated one another. Oh no. Perish the thought."

^^^ Paragraphs like that are the reason I made a goodreads page for this puppy. These little Brossards are great palette cleansers between gargantuan novels.
