Road That Never Ends, A - Sean Wilson

Advantages: Terrific stories, very interesting read
Disadvantages: A little disjointed in places

...After completing my first movie review fairly recently, and my first CD review only weeks ago, I decided to have a crack at doing a book review, something I haven't tried before.

Being into crime/thriller books it wasn?t much of a risk. Now I?m glad and I am working my way... Read review
