True Compass by Edward M. Kennedy

Even if you are not fascinated by the Kennedy family, and by the power, wealth and prestige that is their legacy, Teddy Kennedy’s autobiography is an interesting read. I admit to being a Kennedy-phile, and I have read all of the books and memoirs that I can find about …

Blaze by Richard Bachman as read by Ron McLarty

I think this would’ve worked better as a novella rather than a full-fledged novel. It’s not that there’s a whole lot of padding, but there isn’t much of a story here either. Like with Godfather Part II, I found the flashback sequences to be much better than …

Spongezilla Attacks by Erica David

Five Red Herrings book

Five Red Herrings was written by Dorothy L. Sayers in 1931.
This is not one of Dorothy Sayers’ better books; in fact, unless you enjoy reading about fishing and painting in Galloway, you would find yourself overwhelmed by the description of scenic landscapes and coloring styles employed by different painters.
