Good writers read … or so they say. I’ve at least heard it from more than a few individuals. Be it a classic or a fellow writer’s latest work. I thought it’d be a great way to offer feedback and provide a method for me to tell others about their work. Book Reviews it is!
I was concerned that I would have a hard time explaining this book so I looked at other reviews to see their approach. I was pleased to see that quite a few were as lost as I was. Imagine for a moment that you had to write a report or a review of a little-known story called “Alice in Wonderland”. How would you describe it?

This is the first of 12 books I’ve challenged myself to read this year. It happened to be the first because it was the first I could get my hands on.
