Bevor Emmy Laybourne Schriftstellerin wurde, arbeitete sie als Komikerin, Drehbuchautorin und Schauspielerin. Als ich ihren Debütroman „Monument 14“ kaufte, war mir nicht klar, dass ich sie durch ihre Vergangenheit beim Film bereits kannte. Sie spielte in dem 1999er Film „Superstar“ neben Will Ferre...
Interesting idea...surviving the end of the world in a superstore like Walmart. In fact, that might be the best place to be.

But it seemed to me she wanted us to see her body. She wanted to be wanted. Just by the weakness of the storyline and the nonexistent/unexp...
Mini-review: Bargain Bin find that was much better than I expected. I thought this was going to be a fairly typical post-disaster survival story. Instead, survival barely comes into it. The kids apparently get stuck in the world's biggest Super Wal-Mart with a practically unlimited supply of food an...
I was a bit surprised by this book considering the mixed reviews it garnered on Goodreads. At first, I was somewhat timid about letting myself become absorbed in the story because I had already half decided it was probably going to be a downer. Yet, it didn’t take me too long to become completely em...
