I don't even know what to say about this one. Kevin, to be completely honest, is a jerk. I know he has his reasons and sometimes he's funny and relatable. But other times he's just a complete asshole and I didn't like him. Come to think of it, pretty much everyone is an asshole at some point in th...
In the novel titled, Twelve Long Months, by Brian Malloy had a very predictable ending of the story. It was obvious that Molly Swain's fantasized relationship would not work out with Mark Dahl when she figures out that Mark wasn't interested in her in any way, he wasn't even interested in girls them...

I'm not a very fast reader, but this book sucked me. I read two-thirds of it yesterday (and if I hadn't had work today, I'd have just kept reading!) and the rest today. Now I'm a little sad that it's all over. It makes an interesting contrast the book I read just before it, DOO-LANG LOVE. Both were ...
