  • Ten Toes Down on May 01, 2012

    When I first picked up this book I wasn’t sure that I’d like it, or what to expect at all. This book is a large step out of my comfort zone of sci-fi and fantasy, but I’m pleased to report that it was fantastic. Ten Toes Down is fast paced with each adventure starting before our main character Sebastian, or even the reader, gets a chance to catch a breath after the last one ended. This book is a must read for guys everywhere, whether it be to commiserate with Sebastian and his friends, live vicariously through them, or even just think “Man, I’m glad I’m not like them.” Regardless, you’ll be sure to be laughing throughout. I found this book to be a quick read, but this is because when I picked it up I didn’t put it down until my boss was glaring at me for reading at work, or my eyes were drooping and the words were blurring hours past my bedtime. I read the book on the bus, trains, streetcars and subways, and was very disappointed when I flipped to the last page.
