Probably the best of the Starsky and Hutch novelizations if only because it's based on one of the best episodes. There's no dicking around asking random prostitutes if they know something; instead, there's an enormous conspiracy to unravel! Love to see it.

Very cool. The way Gladwell talks about Simon's songs... me too bud

I'm so obsessed with him. Truly the Hunter S. Thompson of the culinary world. I really need to learn how to cook.

A gauntlet, to be damn sure. Especially knowing that cancer killed her very shortly after this was published. 

She was one of the greatest of all time. Love you Ms. Radner.

Sorry to The Stand superfans, but this really has no business being as long as it is.

Always weird reading a book that takes place where you live. Like, hey! That house full of dead bodies is just down the street!

Link’s usual fare. Magical Realism dialed up to 11.

This read was a long time coming for me because I have known about this family for a long time. I used to watch 8 Passengers when I was little, long before any of this abuse came to light.

This was really well done. Deeply emotional. Shari Franke is only slightly older than I am, and I can hardly imagine what it would be like to go through something like this. I'm glad she's been able to tell her story and that her family is safe.

This is the first in what I think will probably be many books about the impacts of family vlogging. A good thing too.

A tremendous piece of work. Read for my Vietnam War history class. Really well done.
