Smashwords book reviews by Dai Alanye

  • How the Allies Won World War II on March 15, 2012
    star
    Promises more than it delivers.
  • All The Wrong Reasons on May 20, 2012
    (no rating)
    A cute story with a different twist on teenage love. The particular teenagers involved seem to have rather advanced vocabularies, some of it on the salty side, although probably not any worse than real life in the 21st.
