REVIEW: What Happened to Cass McBride by Gail Giles

A Reviews / 31 Comments

Dear Ms. Giles: This is a Young Adult book and I know that some YA books are marketed to 12 years or older, but I would only deem it appropriate for kids aged 15 or older because of the dark overtones. This book’s centerpiece is the suicide of David Kyle. ... more >

REVIEW: Why My Wife Thinks I’m an Idiot by Mike Greenberg

A Review Category / A- Reviews / Book Reviews / Ebooks2 Comments
