Wanted to read this book as I've followed AJ McLean's struggles with sobriety for years. From his mum's perspective, this book tells of the battles that AJ has had with addiction, his rehab and how it affected his family, friends and the other Backstreet Boys. I enjoyed this book, the best part was ...
I re-read Treasure Island as research for my novel. What I loved was the complex villain, Long John Silver, and his relationship with Jim. It's a wonderful and exciting tale, with so much more.

The tale of Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver has been practically immortalis...

Alternately deceitful, honest, terrifying, charming, loyal, disloyal, selfish, selfless, good, and ...
