This book sucked ass. I don't usually have such deeply held negative opinions about the books I choose to read - after all, I'm a pretty good judge of what I like so I'll usually find something about a book I like even if it wasn't that hot overall. But guys. This book. Sucked. Ass.... Continue Reading →

Review: THE MOLD FARMER by Rick Claypool
