I really enjoyed this book. What I think liked most of all was the way in which Binet told history. It allowed the reader to get a more fuller understanding of what evidence is available on which the author is relying, and what is their own invention generate a compelling narrative. And it works. Th...
Short story collection. Breakdown of the stories: 1. Hotel Room - yeah I saw that ending coming a mile away, but Karma came with a big bite. 2.The Texts - really stupid story about a wife who calls an advice line looking for help regarding her cheating husband. Ends up with the wife berating the...
A captivating prose poem. It weaves in and out of the heads of the various characters. Some are in anguish on a day that will change their lives, some in a snapshot of an intense day at work. The plot can be summarized in a single sentence, so it is more a book of emotion than of action. Incredi...

But this time, she plagiarized a war veteran's first-hand account of surviving an IED attack in Iraq.That's two out of her three books that are totally or partially plagiariz...
4 stars! I'll admit that if the author hadn't contacted us to read this book I would have passed on this story. I am so glad that I didn't! I do judge books by the cover and this is a case where the cover does not do the story any justice! I would compare this book to Tracy Garvis-Graves' Covet or A...
Once I was used to the way in which the narrative was constructed, I thoroughly enjoyed this story.
