Re: Review by Prisallen -- Executive Hoodlum by John Costello

This sounds like an incredible memoir. Honestly, any honest and humorous memoir is a treat. Isn't it crazy how people just live such different lives? It's something we all know, but it's not something we always "know," and it just hits me when I read memoirs. I'm glad you liked this book so much, Prisallen! Thanks for your glowing review!

This sounds an interesting book with a bit of humour. I like memoirs, so will add this book on my TBR list.
Thanks for this thorough review!

Latest Review: The Infinite Passion of Life by D.J. Paolini

This book seems unique because here the author is not only a victim of childhood trauma, but the perpetrator is his own father. Sad and unfortunate,yes, yet admirable how he overcame them. I have been meaning to read this one for a long time. Thanks for the review.
