Valley of Sorrows

Hmm, I messed up my first attempt at reviewing... Stupid fat thumbs and small buttons on my phone... Anyway, Nathalie, this was masterful storytelling, well written, easy to read and hard to put down! This book is as good as any Koontz novel, and I think you've definitely got real talent!

We Don’t Plummet Out of the Sky Anymore

I enjoyed this story. It was engaging and interesting. I had read the reviews prior to reading the story and was therefore trying to see the condescending attitude that Joy mentioned in her review, but I never saw it. If anything, Stan was portrayed as the less intelligent half of the couple. All in all, I'd recommend this story to anybody.
