Not sure what drew me to the title to begin with, but I'm glad I read it. Great story.<br /><br />Beth: When I bought my wifey a Kindle Fire, it came with a free month of Prime, so I found out about the lending library. Haven't ponied up the dough for a year subscription, however. <br /><br />A lot of titles that you buy for the Kindle can also be lent to friends that are Kindle owners as well... I can assemble a list of borrowable titles from my collection, if you ever run out of things to read...David Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594244647778062784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010663855553878264.post-73041358636341389102012-02-27T10:55:08.836-08:002012-02-27T10:55:08.836-08:00Of course, every time you or Logan post a review I...Of course, every time you or Logan post a review I feel I must have the book. Hurumph. <br /><br />Dave, are you an Amazon Prime Member? I'm doing the one month trial, and the book you reviewed is one of the many "library" books that you can borrow for "free." I won't be able to join for a while, but the trial is useful, and I can read your reviewed book for free!<br /><br />Beth A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010663855553878264.post-19197832040377236232012-02-27T07:37:42.243-08:002012-02-27T07:37:42.243-08:00It's a shame that Kindle books are so ripe wit...It's a shame that Kindle books are so ripe with typos and formatting issues. It doesn't matter which ebook you pick, it's bound to have formatting issues, much to my chagrin! I'm not sure why ebooks don't get the same treatment/love from publishers, and it would seem like self-published/small-press books (as this one seems to be?) would work twice as hard to ensure no formatting issues. <br /><br />As for the cover, authors generally have little-to-no say-so over that <i>unless</i> they self-produce everything. But I agree. It's a bland & boring cover.<br /><br />All that, and still, like you, I'm intrigued by this book. The trope is tried, but if it's done well (a la Jason Bourne) then it's done well and who can argue?<br /><br />Good review!logankstewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269634215857320344noreply@blogger.com
