Once in a while, a reviewer really "gets" what you're trying to do with your work. Gay Book Reviews is one example:
"We are introduced to two terribly broken men. Milt, in his 40’s, has suffered through the painful loss of his life’s great love. He is determined to inure himself against future pain by living in solitude, which he also deems best to honor his late husband. Billy, a younger Read more of this blog post »

"Kingsolver is one of my all-time favorite authors, but I really struggled with this book and ultimately didn't finish it. The characters seemed flat and uninteresting and the parallel stories of the Knoxes and the Greenwoods just weren't compelling. "

| Like so many other reviewers, I lost interest after reading about half of the book. The characters were two-dimensional and there were way too many of them--making it a chore to keep track of who was who. I read for entertainment and enlightenment, n ...more | |

| John Glatt is fast becoming one of my favorite true crime writers. His prose is clear, his pacing is impeccable, and he draws keenly-observed portraits of both villains and victims. This book was no exception. I knocked a star off because I thought i ...more | |

“There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted.”
