Hour Game : Maxwell and King are back. by ladyconsumer Pros: The two main stories are intriguing.
Cons: But the characters are unlikable. Hour Game by David Baldacci is an odd book, about which I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, it definitely held my interest, and was never boring. Not once in over 600 pages did I ever feel like it dragged, or that it was too long. However, ...

Cons: What's a fair without French fries? I'm lucky enough to live in a city with its own amusement park, which is open all through the summer, so county fairs have never been quite as big a deal for me as they are for those who only have the opportunity to enjoy a carnival atmosphere once or ...

He's a Short, Gay, Greek Orthodox Man from North Carolina by abhaille Pros: Naked will make you laugh out loud.
