Not since BAD MONKEYS by Matt Ruff have I enjoyed a wonderful piece of off the wall fiction like this. MONSTER by A. Lee Martinez is some really fun, well written sci-fi/action/witty fiction.

If there is anything in the world of Cryptozoology that needs hunted, contained or captured, like a huge ice cream eating Yeti in a 7-11 type store, then Monster and Judy will fight it and each other to get the job done. Need I mention that Monster's girlfriend is the girlfriend from Hell....and I mean the REAL Hell.

This is a great 285 page hardcover that sells for only $19.99. It should be on your reading list. If you wanna have fun this throw your money at this book!

Lora Innes is probably THE new talent find of the year. Her book, THE DREAMER is a masterful mix of adventure, romance and historical fiction. The dialogue fits each character to perfection. It's witty, it's sharp and makes you wishing that YOU had said it.

Here sense of story telling is wonderful and leads seamlessly into the action. I cannot recommend this book enough. Perfect for anyone of any age and gender.

The Flying Fist Ranch ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58274945 to: Tatiana K., tome 1 : La boîte de Pandore (Hardcover) by François Corteggiani
You will very hard pressed to find finer graphic novel story telling and art than in Tatiana K by Corteggiani and Meynet. Meynet's Alex Toth-like art is amazing and his use of camera angles is jaw dropping. This book is like a great action/adventure film put to print. The references for weapons, vehicles, buildings is incredible.

The book is just plain fun. The curvy star, Tatiana, is everything you'd want in a spy and much more. If you can hunt down a copy of this book or any of the others, jump on it. You will not be sorry. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58189653 to: Fried Twinkies, Buckle Bunnies, & Bull Riders: A Year Inside the Professional Bull Riders Tour (Hardcover) by Josh Peter
A really fine book on the modern day rodeo/bull riding scene. a lot of humor and real life goings on. The grind is like that of professional wrestling or concert life. If you only read one book about rodeos and bull riding, even if you're not a fan, then this is the one. ]]>
