• My Beautiful Enemy, by Cory Taylor

  
  — Authority:
  I was a little bit disappointed by this book.  My Beautiful Enemy has all the right ingredients for a terrific novel, and in some ways it is exceptionally good – but somehow it didn’t quite hit the mark with me.

• Thick As A Brick

• Review: How to Shake the Other Man

  
  — Authority:
  By Derek Palacio Available now from Nouvella Review copy Im not just into novels.  I love short stories, for their complex conciseness.  And I love novellas because they best ones are not too long, not too short.  They just tell their story and leave it, no bloating.  And the internet is great for novellas - an ...
