The 100th anniversary of the birth of Ian Fleming is as good a reason as any for commissioning a 'continuation novel' for his most famous creation - James Bond. And who better to write it than one of the most popular British authors of the contemporary crop, Sebastian Faulks? As an avid Faulks fan,...
I rented this book from my library for a few reasons. 1. The super colorful spine 2. The Title 3. It is about a piano prodigy 4. I thought it was funny that there are more words outside of the book than in it. By looking at the cover I was expecting a kind, light hearted contemporary but i...

My fifty-six years have revealed to me that even Amazing Love fades in six months and that Terrible Trauma (no car for...
Somebody get the crash cart, because my heart is doing all sorts of weird things. I loved Chopsticks on a million different levels.
