Reviews

  • Much, much less than expected.

    Unpleasant characters, trite or inept plotting, less than stellar writing...probably the biggest disappointment of the past two years’ purchases. Several of the authors are ones I collect, so I expected enjoyable reading. Get the sample and see what you think. I read the first five before I gave up. Maybe all the good stuff is at the back.
