The Revenge of Joe Wild, Andrew Komarnyckyj
At the end of the book, the blurb states, “A classic slice of Americana…” I think that is incredibly apt for The Revenge of Joe Wild.

Two Mini Reviews

Sometimes I don't make notes while reading and that results in a really poor review. Lastly, sometimes a book is so well reviewed I have little to contribute to the… Continue reading Two Mini Reviews
