Book Review -- The Craigslist Killer

Thank you to Smashwords for allowing me to view this book.

This was just a quick read (took me just an hour) and was quite an "interesting" read if that is the right word for it.

It is based on 3 college friends, online dating and a dare. A deadly dare that should have been turned down. Not much more you can say when it's a short read, without giving the plot away.

It was okay as a filler, and could have made an interesting longer book. Written in the style of James Patterson. It never got boring and was quite well written.

I'd certainly recommend it whilst it's at a good price. I don't think I would pay much more than £1 for it due to it's shortness. 

Book Review - My Dad's a Policeman - Cathy Glass

I have to say I loved this book. I had read it in a day but it was a quick read book.

It was narrated by a 12 year old boy, who's mother was a drunk, and he and his younger brother were put into care. He ran away before the first night was over and it tells about his life and the life of his friend Wayne, and his family. He is convinced his father, who he never knew, was a policeman and this stays with him.

I work with children like this in a voluntary role and I could identify with all he was saying and feeling, and I felt that this book was very well written.

I just have to read her website to see how his life continued.

If you want a nice quick read, then I recommend this book. It gives an insight into how unfortunate some children are, and shows how we really must protect the young.
