About this site...

I started this site mainly to post reviews about books I have been reading and reviewing. I also have found, being an extremely opinionated, blabbering, stubborn, Boston Irish woman (I hate to use that word because I feel it ages me) I feel the need to discuss issues that piss me off, or make me actually think about random things. I guess parenting and reading a lot will do that to you, especially if you were a former shrink and teacher who worked with violent children and their screwed up families. I often relate life experience into my reviews and grade them like a teacher. Maybe thats why I enjoy it so much. So whether you are an author, publisher, or reader looking for a new book to check out. I hope I can help you in some way.

Gemma-by Meg Tilly

Gemma-by Meg Tilly


This book was one of the more graphic, revolting, yet well written books that tells an all to familiar story about the reality of what is really goes in society. As someone who has worked as a child/adolescent therapist, and worked in the Juvenile Court system, Tilly did an excellent job capturing the mindset of both how some pedophiles operate and how the mindset of a twelve year old girl might operate. Being able to make the characters believable was key to making the story work. Though this was a work of fiction, it brings to light the reality that there are lots of “Gemma's” and “Hazen's” out there.
