Smashwords book reviews by Patrick Worden

Modern Knighthood: Unleashing Your Inner Power to Master Yourself and the World. on March 24, 2011

Mr. Cuhulain has shown once again a mastery of the intricacies of his subject, and of the ability to impart it in an entertaining, informative way. Without reservation I'd recommend this work, and indeed all of Kerr's titles.
Memoirs From The 82nd Floor and Descending on April 28, 2011

Mr. Galt is an excellent writer. That is clear in this piece, where the narrator's fate is clear from the beginning. Despite that well-planned spoiler, the reader is still engaged, all the way to the wryly funny end. Keep your eye on this author. I suspect he'll continue to amaze.
The Last Real New Yorker in the World on April 28, 2011

Very entertaining and well-written. A real treat for any lovers of the Big Apple.
Remember The Time on April 28, 2012

This is, to the best of my knowledge, Mark Smith's first novel. I also understand it's the first of a trilogy. I heartily recommend this book and I join the rest of Mr. Smith's fans in looking forward to volumes 2 and 3. One of the first things that struck me about this book is its excellent presentation. E-book consumers are all too aware that the "major" releases from established publishers are often shoddily formatted, usually while costing 3 or 4 times the price of Remember The Time. It's hard to understand how indie author-publishers like Mr. Smith provide spot-on formatted ebooks for the freshman efforts. Probably the only thing that kept Remember The Time from the full five stars, for me at any rate, was something on page 3. No way the author could know this, but it's a violation of one of my writing pet peeves: the protagonist, in a bit of inner-dialogue, "thought to himself." Well who the heck else would he be thinking to? That, obviously, is a quibble. Easy to overlook when an author presents an intriguing, well-wrought story, told engagingly and with verve. That's what you get with Mark Smith's Remember The Time, and you'll no doubt get it with the remainder of Mr. Smith's trilogy. Final note: 60k words! A nice long novel @ 3.99 = excellent value.
