• Roberto down the right path on March 18, 2011
  
  This is a book that can very well be used as reading material in teenage rehabilitation and teenage motivation programs. Though it was originally written in Spanish, it has lost nothing in translation.
  
• Pilate's Cross on March 29, 2011
  
  I am a sucker for thrillers, and Pilates' Cross had me on edge right from the title, which had me thinking of a Christian plot. J. Alexander writes with the details of a landscaper. The will excitement at the casino by the road will always stick in my memory. And the plot, starting with the Kennedy assassination,and introducing a parallel was a wise move.
  
• Caffe' Seduzione on March 30, 2011
  
  A good story writer can say in 5 words what most say in 10. Bri comes through as an expert. The concept "serial dater" set the tone for a very modern plot, including Facebook, Skype and so on. The story echoes as the dream of every disappointed American housewife.
  
• Dear Jack: Tracking the journey from only child to big brother on March 30, 2011
  
  I felt that I was intruding in someone's diary, thogh invited to take a peek. A great legacy for his children. Are you a parent, dear reader? Try following Mr. Holland's example.
  
• An Unassigned Life on April 07, 2011
  
  The author does a wonderful job that includes social criticism -- sarcastic passages "under the sun of Tuscany," a hit at the Church's own dubious followers, the intricacies of the traditional book publishing underground, mental health issues... All handled with what I like to call "serious humour." In the end, it reads as a warning to all of us: We better believe in something... otherwise, afterlife may be tough!!! Pass on the word, this book is a must!
  
• Male Fraud on April 07, 2011
  
  When I read the funniest description of a woman with a cold I knew that this book was not going to be a a boring love story. Though the equality message comes through, the author does not bash men. Nevertheless,I doubt a man could have written a Novella such as Male Fraud.
  
• Not What She Seems on April 10, 2011
  
  Just read Victorine Lieske's "Not What She Seems": The thriller is well carrried out leading to a rather surprising ending. But, what kept me reading the book was the undergoing love story. It was almost has having two parallel themes developing in front of my eyes. Is there a genre of "thriller/love story?"
  
• Gerald and the Wee People on June 02, 2011
  
  I love fantasy, especially when it is laced with spices of reality. The adventure of Gerald and Vernon had me traveling from Lilliput to Oz, and even taking a pinch of primitive science. I never thought of someone else thinking about using old bread mold to elicit its antibiotic properties.... Ms Burroughs was able to create easy dialogues among almost familiar creatures, without messing my head with complicated names. And strangely enough, I read without searching for grammar glitches, typos and what not. This novel was a pleasure to read.
  
• The Art of War: a Novel on July 26, 2011
  
  The Art of War: A Novel by Angela Panayotopulos Reviewed by Alex Canton-Dutari The first part of the book brought to my mind Louise de Berniere's "The Mandoline of Captain Corelli." But nothing prepared me for the ensuing narrative about the ravages of World War II in Athens and a small Greek island -- Mythaki. The spread of Nazis' monster shape was brilliantly described, as was its offspring in the island of Mythaki which, as the author asserts "…reflects the world." "…We make our own miracles-" the author states. And they would not be made among humans without . This is a wonderful story: memorable, joyous, sad, exposing humans' worse and best traits. And, as Ms Panayotopulos states in her acknowledgements, I share the shame of having the survivors tell their stories for us never to forget. The book is excellent. I hope it becomes a classic.
  
• Remnant on July 30, 2011
  
  Remnant by Kate Genet Reviewed by Alex Canton-Dutari This fascinating book must be every Earth defender's dream, described in such a way that even humidity changes can be felt through the written words of the author. I do not know if I would include paranormal as a genre under which the story can also be classified. Perhaps it could be. At the end I was left asking myself. Would the dynamics that took place between the main female characters follow the same pattern had they been two males? I am grateful to my Smashwords colleague who recommended this book.
  
• The Prophet's Wives on Sep. 28, 2011
  
  The Prophet's Wives by Susann Wells Bennett Reviewed by Alex Canton-Dutari I am convinced that Susan Bennett must have been a member of a polygamous community in a previous life. Though I still can't determine if as wife or husband. Her ability to create characters that depict this variety of real-life society is amazing. Add well-written English that makes reading the book a journey into what may be twisted minds, though perhaps not. But, I am a fan and may be biased.
  
• Kiwi in Cat City on Dec. 20, 2011
  
  After I read this interesting story I wondered if it was a "children's book" or a book for adults with the capacity to follow a child's fantasy in their mind. I decided that the plot was adult intended, though the adaptation to the cat species was a believable fantasy.... After all, we have seen enough cats of all ages dressed in many garbs… of course, less than dogs. Cats are more dignified. I tried reading some passages out loud as if telling a story to a child. It worked! Yes, I want to read the sequel of this well-written and well edited book
