Review: Loved it.
Rating: 5 out of 5

I love Ford.  Period.I love how committed, faithful to his friends.This book is short and I recommend that you read the first 3 books in the Manic series before you read Slack.  You will have a better understanding of Ford and his friendships.The book is just a day in the life of Ford on Christmas Eve.  Ford may come off as heartless, but he is anything but that.I thought that there is not much that the author can do in 77 pages with Ford, but I was wrong.  In this story we see Ford play with his “pet”, run an “errand” with his friend, meet a 12 year old girl who makes him look at certain things differently, go to his mom’s house and has a heart to heart with Rook.Side note and my opinion… if Rook was not with Ronin, I would want her with Ford.  Actually, my feeling is if Ronin messes up just a little bit with Rook, she should just go to Ford.  I love Ronin, but sometimes he made me angry when he put others (yes that whiny drug addict) before Rook.I did not think I was going to like it as much as I did, but I loved it.  I cannot wait to read Taut.  I do not think I will be able to get enough of Ford.I love how the author put in her favorite scenes of Ford in the back of the book.  I highly recommend the Manic series.  One of my top 5 reads of 2013.
