| I'm a writer myself, and my work is made better by various wonderful beta readers and writing groups. Levi's novel has a number of "flaws" that critique groups might quibble over. There's lots of head-hopping (POV shifts in a scene), which some peopl ...more | |

| This is definitely not something I would read except for my recent connection with the author, so I don't know that I'm qualified to write an decent review. But I'll try. I must point out that I've only given a handful of five-star reviews in my life ...more | |

| Another fun Carl Hiaasen read, this the story of a reporter sent to cover the winner of the Florida state lottery. Florida weirdness, theft, fraud, incompetent bad guys, Hooters, and philanderers ensue, along with the flawed good guy meets flawed goo ...more | |

| I do my best to avoid reviewing books based upon what I want them to be. When people say something I've written wasn't what they thought it should be, I invite them to write the story their own way. With that said, I cannot overlook the fact that I f ...more | |

| I'll start by saying that I absolutely loved Lunatics, which Zweibel co-wrote with Dave Barry. In some ways, this falls short. It's not as funny, nor as zany, nor as quick a read. On the other hand, it's richer than Lunatics, more than just a comic a ...more | |
