 ... to you directly - at least I did. In fact, throughout most of the books I could hear her voice, see her smile and twinkle in her eyes. Mind you, sometimes this type of style can be a touch confusing, especially when she was trying to recount conversations. But with just a tiny bit of perseverance you'll get over that quite easily. If I had to sum her writing style in general, I'd say that it's human, realistic and highly conversational. Certainly there's nothing stand-offish or overly-intellectual in her writin...more

The truth is lifted on the appalling conditions and treatment of women in certain parts of the world Horrific and harrowing tale

Good fights Not a nice guy

A great read None!

Hilarious, candid, intelligently written, tons of anecdotes. An air of desperation; an overly harsh dose of realism for wannabes.

Intelligent and entertaining

Natural Selection - Bill Dare
An enjoyable romantic comedy that forsakes soppy idealism for painful and amusing realism. First-time author's lack of experience is a bit obvious, and some creative decisions are a bit odd.
