The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

by Mark Haddon
- Rated 3 stars
“The narrator got annoying after a while. I felt like I was being lectured the entire book. In the end, I didn't feel it was a significant journey--neither literary nor psychologically. ”

Thrasher Presents How to Build Skateboard Ramps, Halfpipes, Boxes, Bowls and More

by Thrasher Magazine
- Rated 3 stars
“Lacks about 10% in effort, details, and editing that would have moved it into the realm of great "how-to" books. Some symbols/terms were not explained, little number mistakes on wood size, needed more info on tools and when/how they are used in the projects, needed more details when it came to drilling and screw placement/spacing, etc.”

Post Office

by Charles Bukowski
- Rated 4 stars
“Fun, quick read. Lotsa ego, but mixed-up with enough misfortune to make it
tolerable/laughable. Reads like a self-aware diary. ”
