April Mini Musings


Turned On: Take Me Private:  I'm glad this was a novella because I found this story strange and distasteful  I really didn't find it romantic or sexy. I had a hard time buying into any guy being OK with the fact that his lover is a "cam" girl and does "private shows" online for a fee.  I didn't like it at all.

All-American Murder:   Living in Massachusetts, I saw this story all over the news when it first broke and throughout the past couple of years for the trial and his suicide. I didn't really delve much into the back story other than what I saw on the news.  I thought this was a good comprehensive look into how a guy who seemed to have it all ended up falling so far.  It's a sad story.

Final Goodbyes: I'll admit to taking a while to finish this book.  I kept putting it down to read somethig else.  But it's really short, so it seemed a shame not to finish it to see how it ended.  I was expecting a ghost story based on the synopsis.  It's not even a thrilling thriller.  The ending was a bit predictible.  It wasn't a badly written story, it just wasn't waht I washoping for.

A Midsummer Night's Scream: This was really bad.  I have been wondering if R.L. Stine is really writing these books any more.  The more recent offerings do not live up to the books from the 80s and 90s.  The story was a mess and all over the place.  The characters were boring and I almost was rooting for them all to die.  Skip this one and read his older stuff.
