This is simply a blog featuring reviews I've written for books that I've read, every single book I've read in the last three years, plus a few brief notes on books I read before I joined Goodreads (which is when I started to take my reviewing seriously).
Banana Hammock (Harry McGlade Mystery) by J.A. Konrath
The first few pages of this "choose your own adventure for adults" were hilarious. But the novelty and hilarity wore off after flipping back and forth to follow each story. Most of the stories were quite short and some of the endings too abrupt, it seemed as if the author had used up the requisite number of pages for the story and simply said to himself "right, this is the last page. How can I finish the story in a few sentences?" I wouldn't bother reading another of this type of book if I saw it on the shelves.
